Danièle Irazu (born 12 December 1974) is a former French international rugby player, native of the Basque country, and player for the France women's national rugby union team. She was part of France's women's rugby team, at the 2006 Women's Rugby World Cup.[1]

Rugby career

Irazu was an accountant in her region of origin until 2004, but managed her sports career thanks to a high-level athlete job at SNCF where she joined the "World Cup" project group in March 2007, at the Direction de la Communication, since SNCF was a first-rank partner of the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

Irazu is in charge of an initiative to encourage rugby. From 2008 to 2016, she was a member of the steering committee of the French Rugby Federation. In 2017, she was manager of the France Under-20 Women's Team.[2] She was replaced by Hélène Ezanno in 2018.[3]

On December 9, 2017, she was elected to the steering committee of the Ligue Régional Nouvelle-Aquitaine rugby in a list led by Michel Macary and supported by the president of the French rugby federation Bernard Laporte.[4]
