Ireland will get the chance to defend their 2008 International rules win after the GAA and the Australian Football League announced the 2010 series will return in October.
The first test will take place in Limerick on 23 October, followed by a second game in Croke Park on 30 October.
Last year's series was not played due to the economic climate.
AFL Chief Executive Andrew Demetriou said the decision to postpone the series for 12 months had been a difficult decision to make.
He said he was delighted that Australia would now be able to return to Ireland in a bid to regain the Cormac McAnallen trophy, won by Ireland in 2008.
"The series between Australia and Ireland has drawn tremendous crowds in both countries and players from both codes have appreciated the chance they get to represent their country at international level," Mr Demetriou said.
Since competition between Ireland and Australia resumed in 1999, the two countries have played 10 series with both teams winning five apiece.
Ireland holds a 10-8 advantage, with two draws, from the 20 Test matches played.
GAA Director General Paraic Duffy said he was looking forward to the two games in October.
"Each player deems it an honour to put on an Irish jersey in an international setting and values the experience of playing in other countries," Duffy said.
