Aviva Stadium holds 51,700 and sits in Ballsbridge, Dublin, on the Lansdowne Road site where international rugby has been played since 1878. A DART station sits directly underneath the west stand.
Aviva Stadium capacity
Capacity is 51,700. The current stadium opened in 2010 after the old Lansdowne Road was demolished, its distinctive curved profile dropping at the north end to avoid overshadowing the houses behind it.
The oldest ground
Lansdowne Road was the oldest international rugby ground in the world in continuous use before the rebuild, hosting its first Test in 1878.
Who plays at Aviva Stadium
Ireland play home Six Nations and autumn Tests here. Leinster move over from the RDS for their bigger Champions Cup fixtures, which regularly outdraw their regular home.
