Ireland will take on England in a friendly in June 2015, the Football Association of Ireland said Tuesday, the first meeting between the teams in Dublin since a 1995 friendly was abandoned due to crowd trouble.

The two sides were shepherded off the pitch in the old Lansdowne Road 20 years ago with Ireland 1-0 in front after some English fans ­began throwing missiles, including seating ripped from the stands.

Martin O'Neil's Irish side will be midway through a European Championship qualifying campaign that includes games against Germany, Poland and Scotland when the sides meet on June 7.

England, who unlike Ireland will travel to Brazil for the World Cup in June, face an easier campaign to reach Euro 2016 with Switzerland and Slovenia putting up the main competition.
