This season's Celtic League final will take place at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on February 1st.

The match is certain to an Irish / Welsh affair, with the winners of the January 3rd clash between Munster and Ulster taking on Neath or Cardiff, who meet at The Gnoll the following day.

Munster lost to Leinster in last year's inaugural final which was played at Lansdowne Road.

"After last year and such a marvellous final in Dublin, the Celtic League Association felt this season the final would be staged at either Murrayfield or the Millennium Stadium," said Bill Watson the Celtic League chairman.
