Pittsburgh Steelers Aiming to Play Future NFL Regular-Season Game in Ireland

The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping the luck of the Irish can help them in their endeavor of one day playing in the Emerald Isle.

The NFL recently awarded the Steelers marketing rights for Ireland and Northern Ireland, which allows the team to conduct "in-person activities such as fan and youth football activities" in the country.

But that's not all the franchise intends on doing to build their global footprint.

Pittsburgh is intent on playing a regular-season game in Ireland at some point in the future, director of business development and strategy Daniel Rooney said Thursday in Dublin.
