Notes

Pre tour and post 2013 Six Nations Championship, the then head coach Declan Kidney, was sacked from his role as head coach of Ireland.[3] Leinster's head coach Joe Schmidt was named as Kidney's replacement, but will be unable to fill the role for Ireland's Summer Tour.[4] Therefore, assistant head coach Les Kiss, was named as interim head coach for the Summer Tour to Canada and United States.[5]

The initial squad was named on 19 May 2014, with Rory Best as captain. It was a significantly weaker squad due to a number of regular Irish players in the British and Irish Lions squad for their 2013 tour to Australia. The squad then lost their original captain, Rory Best, on 26 May, due to a call to the British and Irish Lions squad. Peter O'Mahony was named as his replacement in terms of captaincy, and Sean Cronin filled the void left in the hookers. Ahead of the test against Canada, Ireland then lost Simon Zebo to the British and Irish Lions. Zebo who has started in the test against the United States, was not replaced.[6]
