The Aviva Stadium opened in 2010 on the site of the former Lansdowne Road Stadium it was built to replace.
The stadium is home to both Ireland’s national rugby union and football team’s, as well as hosting as Leinster Rugby matches when their usual home of the RDS Arena has insufficient capacity.
The Aviva Stadium has hosted major sporting events including the 2011 UEFA Europa League final and the 2013 European Rugby Champions Cup. It was due to host four matches at UEFA Euro 2020 but was replaced as the government could not provide assurances that fans would be able to attend due to the Covid-19 pandemic and instead will host the 2024 UEFA Europa League Final.
