Known as the Music City, Nashville is a hub of music, fashion, healthcare, and automotive industries in the US.
The new route will be operated by Aer Lingus' new state-of-the-art Airbus A321XLR.
Aer Lingus' Chief Customer Officer Susanne Carberry said they are "thrilled" to connect Ireland to the home of American country music.
"We are thrilled to add Nashville to our expanding North American network, offering Irish customers direct access into one of the most exciting and culturally rich cities in the United States," Carberry said.
"The connection between Irish and American country music runs deep and Nashville’s iconic status as the capital of country music makes it a dream destination for music lovers.
"Its fast-growing fashion, finance, healthcare and automotive industries also offer plenty of opportunities for business travellers."
It's not just country music that's alive and kicking in Nashville or the state of Tennessee, as there are also plenty of other spots to visit.
From Elvis Presley's Graceland Memphis to a stellar American Football stadium in Knoxville the state has plenty for Irish tourists to see.
