The highly-anticipated tournament will be played in Australia and New Zealand across July and August 2023.
Ireland have a win over Australia to their name already, having won 3-2 in a friendly in Dublin just over a year ago.
The Canadians are ranked seventh in the world and saw-off Sweden at the Tokyo Games in 2021 to win gold.
Ireland and Nigeria have never locked horns before, but the African side is considered one of the tougher opposition from pot four.
