The 2001 Six Nations Championship was marred by an outbreak of the highly infectious livestock disease Foot and mouth disease in Britain.
As a consequence, there were severe restrictions on travel especially between Britain and Ireland and thus it was decided to postpone Ireland's three fixtures against the home nations until the outbreak was contained.
These games were then played in September and October.
