Summary

Description

Lansdowne Road is a sports stadium located in Dublin owned by the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) and used primarily for rugby union, but also for association football internationals and cup finals as well as for music concerts. It is currently out of use for a major redevelopment. It is the oldest international rugby venue that is still given to sports use.

Lansdowne Road is also the name of the adjacent street, from which the stadium gained its name.

The stadium is situated in the neighbourhood of Ballsbridge in the city's Dublin 4 area. It crosses the River Dodder and is in proximity to many Victorian redbrick houses.

The bridge is Herbert Bridge and connects with the junction of Herbert Road and Newbridge Avenue.

The stadium has convenient public transport links as the Lansdowne Road station of the Dublin Area Rapid Transit rail system is adjacent to the stadium and passes directly underneath the West Stand.

As already mentioned the stadium is named after the nearby road, which in turn is named after the Marquess of Lansdowne. The Marquis was also the Earl of Shelburne, and nearby Shelbourne Road is also named after him.
