It has a capacity of 51,711 (all seated).[ 9] It is built on the site of the formerLansdowne Road Stadium, which was demolished in 2007, and replaced it as home to its chief tenants: theIrish rugby union team and theRepublic of Ireland football team . The decision to redevelop the stadium came after plans for bothStadium Ireland andEircom Park fell through.Aviva Group Ireland signed a 10-year deal for thenaming rights in 2009,[ 10] and subsequently extended the arrangement in 2018 and 2025. The deal signed in 2025 runs until 2030.[ 11] [ 12]
The stadium, located besideLansdowne Road railway station , officially opened on 14 May 2010. The stadium was Ireland's firstUEFA Category 4 Stadium , and hosted the2011 and the2024 UEFA Europa League finals. It also hosted the2011 Nations Cup , as well as the regular home fixtures of the national rugby team, national football team and some home fixtures forLeinster Rugby andLansdowne Football Club from 2010 onwards.
Unlike its predecessor, which was solely owned by theIrish Rugby Football Union (IRFU), the current stadium is controlled by the IRFU and theFootball Association of Ireland (FAI) through a 50:50 joint venture known as the Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company (LRSDC). The joint venture has a 60-year lease on the stadium;[ 13] on expiry the stadium will return to the exclusive ownership of the IRFU.[ 14]
The stadium was officially opened on 14 May 2010 by thenTaoiseach Brian Cowen .[ 15] [ 16] [ 17] In 2011, the stadium won aBritish Construction Industry Award .[ 18]
During theCOVID-19 pandemic , the Irish Army (operating under Operation Fortitude) used the stadium for testing from 14 May onwards, following the handover from the Naval Service (which had been conducting tests under Operation Fortitude atSir John Rogerson's Quay until that time).[ 19]

The stadium during a match between Ireland and the United States TheIreland national rugby union team plays its home games at the stadium, as it did previously atLansdowne Road , taking over from their temporary home,Croke Park , where games were played during Aviva's construction. Ireland's first international game was on 6 November 2010 againstSouth Africa , with the Springboks winning 23–21. The game drew a crowd of 35,515, mainly due to a backlash by Ireland supporters over the IRFU's controversial ticketing strategy for theNovember Test series .[ 187] Initially, the IRFU announced that tickets to the November Tests would only be sold as packages for all four matches. Later, it announced that the tickets would instead be split into two packages, with the South Africa Test bundled with the following week's match withSamoa for a minimum of €150, and theNew Zealand andArgentina Tests bundled for a minimum of €190. Single-game tickets were to be available only for the Samoa and Argentina Tests. On 1 November, the IRFU backed away from this plan amid heavy criticism from member clubs that had problems selling the packages in adifficult economy .[ 188]
Lansdowne Road was replaced by the Aviva Stadium, shown here during construction The firstrugby union game at the Aviva was an exhibition game on 31 July 2010, billed as theO2 Challenge, involving under-18 and under-20 players from all four of Ireland's provincial sides, with aLeinster /Ulster side defeating aMunster /Connacht combination 68–0.[ 189] As part of the run-up to the event, O2 ran a promotion which gave the winner the opportunity to attempt to score the ceremonial first points at the Aviva via a simulated conversion kick on the day before the match. The winner of the promotion, John Baker ofEnnis , was successful.[ 190] The first official points at the Aviva were scored by Ulster'sCraig Gilroy with a try in the O2 Challenge.[ 189]
Ireland won twelve consecutive matches at the Aviva between 2016 and 2018.[ 191] They bested that record achieving their 13th consecutive home win in week two of the2023 Six Nations Championship .[ 192] Ireland extended that record to 14 straight wins and achieved their 4th ever Grand Slam in 29–16 victory over England on 18 March 2023.[ 193] Ireland beat Scotland at the Aviva on 16 March 2024, to become back-to-back Six Nations outright champions for only the third time in history, extending their record of 19 consecutive home wins.[ 159] New Zealand defeated Ireland 13–23, breaking their 19 match home winning streak which spanned from February 2021 until November 2024.[ 194]

The stadium also hosts some home games forLeinster when theRDS Arena 's smaller capacity does not satisfy demand. Leinster won their opening home game in the Aviva againstMunster 13–9, in theCeltic League (now United Rugby Championship) season, in front of a then recordleague attendance of 50,645.[ 195] This league record was exceeded on 29 March 2014 when Leinster again beat Munster, 22–18, in front of 51,700 people.[ 55]
Leinster won their firstHeineken Cup game in the stadium 24–8, againstClermont Auvergne in a pool game during the2010–11 season .[ 196] During Leinster's successful run to the Heineken Cup title that season, they took their quarter-final and semi-final matches to the stadium, defeatingLeicester Tigers [ 197] andToulouse respectively.[ 198] Ulster took their2012 Heineken Cup semi-final to the stadium as well,[ 199] defeatingEdinburgh .[ 200]
The2013 Heineken Cup final took place in the stadium on 18 May 2013[ 201] whereToulon beat Clermont Auvergne 16–15.[ 202] The Heineken Cup final had last been held in Dublin in 2003, when Toulouse beatPerpignan 22–17 at Lansdowne Road in front of 28,600.[ 203]
The stadium hosted a second European Champions Cup final in2023 whenLa Rochelle beat Leinster 27–26.[ 204]

The stadium also hosts the home games of theRepublic of Ireland national football team , as didLansdowne Road . The team had played most home games atCroke Park during the construction of the Aviva Stadium. The first football match in the Aviva Stadium wasManchester United against aLeague of Ireland XI side, managed byDamien Richardson , on 4 August 2010.[ 350] Manchester United won the game 7–1, withPark Ji-Sung scoring the first ever goal in the Aviva Stadium.[ 351] The first international game for Ireland in the Aviva Stadium was a 1–0 friendly loss againstArgentina on 11 August 2010.[ 352] The first competitive goal was scored byKevin Kilbane in aEuro 2012 qualifying game on 7 September 2010 againstAndorra .[ 353]
Updated as of 14 October 2025.
St Patrick's Athletic vsBohemians in the2021 FAI Cup Final .The Aviva has annually hosted theFAI Cup Final since 2010. While the Aviva Stadium was under construction the cup final hosting was shared between theRDS Arena andTallaght Stadium . The first Cup Final at the new stadium was the2010 FAI Cup Final , held on Sunday 14 November 2010.Sligo Rovers beatShamrock Rovers 2–0 onpenalties after the game finished 0–0 after extra time. A total of 36,101 attended the game making it the biggest attendance at anFAI Cup Final since 1968.[ 209] A total of 37,126 spectators were in attendance for the2021 Final in whichSt Patrick's Athletic defeatedBohemians on penalties.[ 320] The Aviva hosted 43,881 for the2023 Final between the same two sides, a record breaking attendance for an FAI Cup final.[ 335]
In February 2025 the Aviva hosted the largest ever attendance at aLeague of Ireland Premier Division game, with 33,208 for Bohemians' 1–0 win over Shamrock Rovers.[ 345]
The2011 Nations Cup took place in the Aviva Stadium. The tournament featured national football teams fromScotland ,Wales ,Northern Ireland and theRepublic of Ireland . In the opening round of fixtures, theRepublic of Ireland beatWales 3–0 whileScotland beatNorthern Ireland 3–0. The remaining four fixtures took place in May, with theRepublic of Ireland winning the tournament after beatingScotland 1–0 on 29 May, with Keane scoring the only goal.[ 354]
2011 Europa League final [ edit ] The2011 UEFA Europa League final betweenPortuguese sidesPorto andBraga took place in the Aviva Stadium. Due to UEFA rules against corporate sponsorship outside the federation, the stadium was referred to as the "Dublin Arena " for this final,[ 355] [ 356] that ended with a 1–0 victory for Porto courtesy of aRadamel Falcao goal. Porto thus won thetreble ofPrimeira Liga ,Taça de Portugal , and Europa League.[ 357]
TheDublin Super Cup was a pre-season football tournament which was held at the Aviva.Celtic ,Manchester City ,Inter Milan and aLeague of Ireland XI competed in the 2011 edition, with Manchester City winning the tournament.[ 358] [ 359]
The 'Dublin Decider'[ edit ] The 'Dublin Decider' was a game which took place on 10 August 2013. The match was played betweenCeltic andLiverpool , with both teams having large support in Ireland. Celtic won the match 1–0 thanks to a goal fromAmido Balde .[ 360]
There were talks ongoing about a return of the 'Dublin Decider' in the summer of 2014 with clubs such asBarcelona , Manchester United and Celtic being mentioned as potential visitors to the Aviva Stadium. It was confirmed in March 2016 that Celtic would face Barcelona in the stadium on 30 July 2016, however, this was as part of the annualInternational Champions Cup pre-season tournament, and not any sort of independent 'Dublin Decider' fixture. Barcelona won the game 3–1.
Abandoned UEFA Euro 2020 hosting [ edit ] On 19 September 2014, UEFA announced that the stadium would host four fixtures in theEuro 2020 finals tournament, three of which would be group games and, the fourth, a round of 16 matches. Had Ireland qualified they would have been guaranteed two home group games.[ 361] As Aviva was not a commercial partner of the Euro 2020 tournament, the stadium would have been referred to as the Dublin Arena throughout. However, theCOVID-19 pandemic intervened and UEFA postponed the tournament until 2021 (though UEFA retained the tournament's original name). Restrictions still in force afterthe pandemic's Third Wave struck the Republic of Ireland , killing thousands in the early part of 2021, meant that Dublin and the Aviva Stadium were unable to fulfil their hosting duties to UEFA's satisfaction and, therefore, the stadium lost its Euro 2020 host rights. The announcement, which came on 23 April 2021, allocated Dublin's three group games to theKrestovsky Stadium inSaint Petersburg , Russia, and Dublin's originally scheduled last 16 (group D winner vsgroup F runner up ) tie toWembley Stadium inLondon , England.[ 362]
On 16 July 2021, the UEFA Executive Committee announced that due to the withdrawal of hosting rights for Euro 2020, the Aviva Stadium was given hosting rights for the2024 UEFA Europa League Final . This was part of a settlement agreement by UEFA to recognise the efforts and financial investment made to host UEFA Euro 2020.[ 363] The stadium would later get hosting rights forUEFA Euro 2028 .
2024 Europa League final [ edit ] Thirteen years after the2011 final , Aviva Stadium hosted the2024 Europa League final between Italian sideAtalanta and German sideBayer Leverkusen . Due to UEFA rules against corporate sponsorship outside the federation, the stadium was referred to as the "Dublin Arena " for the final.[ 364] Leverkusen, who was seeking to emulate what Porto did in 2011 having won theBundesliga and due to play in theDFB-Pokal final , was soundly beaten by Atalanta 3–0, winning the latter's first ever European trophy and breaking Leverkusen's unbeaten streak.[ 365]
In October 2023,UEFA announced the venues for theUEFA Euro 2028 . The Aviva Stadium, alongside venues in theUnited Kingdom , will host several matches in the tournament.[ 366]
The stadium in American football configuration for Navy vs. Notre Dame in 2012 On 1 September 2012, the stadium hosted an Americancollege football game billed as theEmerald Isle Classic between theNotre Dame Fighting Irish and theNavy Midshipmen . Notre Dame won 50–10.[ 367]
The 2016Aer Lingus College Football Classic was announced as a matchup between theGeorgia Tech Yellow Jackets and theBoston College Eagles to be played on 3 September 2016. The result was a 17–14 win by the Yellow Jackets.[ 368]
TheNebraska Cornhuskers and theNorthwestern Wildcats kicked off their 2022 seasons at the Aviva Stadium with Northwestern winning 31–28.[ 369] [ 370] It was soon confirmed that Notre Dame would once again play Navy in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at the Aviva Stadium on 26 August 2023.[ 371] Notre Dame ran out winners with the final score 42–3.[ 372]

The stadium is a bowl shape with four tiers on three sides of the ground; the lower and upper tiers are for general access, the second and third levels feed the second tier for premium tickets and the third tier for corporate boxes. The northern end of the stadium, due to its proximity to local housing, incorporates only the lower tier of the bowl. This end of the stadium is to be the away stand for football internationals. There is one basement level and seven storeys of floors including ground level. The premium level holds 10,000 spectators, while the box level holds 1,300.[ 2] The remaining 38,700 seats are shared between the top and bottom tiers.
