The first of the two games is a friendly against Oman, to be played on Wednesday 3rd September at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin and four days later they play their opening game in the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Georgia in Tblisi.
O'Neill has named a provisional squad of 36 players which will be shortened on 31st August prior to the players reporting, and Ward will be hoping to add to the 24 caps he's already won since his international debut in May 2011.
Should he make the final cut and play in either game he will become only the second player to represent the Republic of Ireland whilst at Burnley; the only one to date is Keith Treacy who made a substitute appearance against Croatia in a Dublin friendly in August 2011.
Ward joins the following squad:
DAVID FORDE (MILLWALL), KEIREN WESTWOOD (SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY), DARREN RANDOLPH (BIRMINGHAM), ROB ELLIOT (NEWCASTLE), RICHARD KEOGH (DERBY), MARC WILSON (STOKE), SEAMUS COLEMAN (EVERTON), JOHN O'SHEA (SUNDERLAND), ALEX PEARCE (READING), STEPHEN KELLY (READING), PAUL McSHANE (HULL), DAMIEN DELANEY (CRYSTAL PALACE), JOEY O'BRIEN (WEST HAM), SHANE DUFFY (EVERTON), JAMES McCARTHY (EVERTON), JEFF HENDRICK (DERBY), CIARAN CLARK (ASTON VILLA), STEPHEN WARD (BURNLEY), GLENN WHELAN (STOKE), DARRON GIBSON (EVERTON), ANDY REID (NOTTINGHAM FOREST), AIDEN McGEADY (EVERTON), ANTHONY PILKINGTON (CARDIFF), JAMES McCLEAN (WIGAN), ROBBIE BRADY (HULL), STEPHEN QUINN (HULL), DAVID MEYLER (HULL), WES HOOLAHAN (NORWICH), ROBBIE KEANE (LA GALAXY), SHANE LONG (SOUTHAMPTON), DARYL MURPHY (IPSWICH), JON WALTERS (STOKE), KEVIN DOYLE (WOLVES), ANTHONY STOKES (CELTIC), SIMON COX (READING), CONNOR SAMMON (IPSWICH).
