Liverpool have announced they will play Italian side Napoli in a pre-season friendly match in Dublin on August 4.
Former Liverpool player and club ambassador Ian Rush, who visited the Aviva stadium where the game will take place this summer, said: "As a Club, we have tremendous support in Ireland, so it's always a pleasure to come to Dublin and play in front of our Irish fans.
"There's certain to be a fantastic atmosphere in the Aviva Stadium when LFC and our Italian opponents arrive in August; and we thank the Football Association of Ireland for their support in hosting the game."
The two side's last met in 2010 when Steven Gerrard came off the bench to inspire a late 3-1 comeback win in the Europa League group stages after Ezequiel Lavezzi opened the scoring on 28 minutes.
It will be the second successive year Liverpool have travelled to Dublin for their pre-season preparations - they played Spanish side Athletic Bilbao at the same arena last season in front of a sold-out crowd.
