    We prove a fixed point theorem for the action of a Lie group \(G\) acting isometrically on a non-negatively curved Riemannian manifold with principal orbits which are isotropy irreducible homogeneous spaces. We refine our result when the curvature is positive and give a possible application to the study of immersions of homogeneous spaces into spheres.
