The competition will see the Celtic first team led by Neil Lennon visit Ireland to play against top class opposition for the first time in over ten years.
Lennon said: "I feel privileged as Celtic Manager to be able to take the first-team squad over to Ireland to play in the Dublin Tournament against some top-class opposition. Obviously the club has very strong ties with Ireland and with our massive fan-base there it promises to be a special occasion for myself, the players and the Celtic fans."
