Aviva Stadium Dublin

Ireland's national stadium in Ballsbridge, home to rugby and football national teams, with 51,700 seats.

Aviva Stadium in Dublin's Ballsbridge neighbourhood is the shared home of Ireland's rugby union and football national teams. With a capacity of around 51,700, it is one of the most modern stadiums in the British Isles. Built on the historic site of Lansdowne Road Stadium, which was demolished in 2007, the new arena opened in 2010 and is named after insurance group Aviva, which holds the naming rights. Nestled tightly within the upmarket D4 residential area, it creates a uniquely intimate atmosphere on match days.
