About 2026 Club Orange Men's FAI Cup

The FAI Cup final is the showpiece of Irish domestic football, the last match of the League of Ireland season and the one that decides who lifts the season's biggest trophy. Fans travel from all over the country, often in club colours, filling pubs and streets for hours before kick-off. A Sunday afternoon fixture means a slower, more social build-up than a midweek game, with time for a proper pre-match pint and a long walk to the ground. Whichever side wins ends the year with a piece of silverware to show for it.

Where to stay nearby

Dublin itself is the obvious base, just a kilometre from the Aviva Stadium and with by far the largest choice of hotels, so you can walk to the match and stay close to the city's pubs and restaurants afterwards. Clondalkin and Swords both sit further out, roughly 11km and 14km away, and work well if you want a quieter stay or are arriving by car, with a straightforward drive or bus journey into town on match day. Both have a smaller pick of hotels, so booking ahead matters more if you choose either.

About Aviva Stadium

Ireland's home of rugby and football, the Aviva Stadium rises above the Lansdowne Road area of leafy south Dublin, hosting internationals and major stadium concerts. The surrounding Ballsbridge district is genteel and green, with the Grand Canal and the city centre's pubs and restaurants a short distance away.

The DART commuter train stops at Lansdowne Road right beside the ground, linking along the coast and into the centre. Staying centrally keeps Dublin's nightlife close, with a quick DART ride out to the stadium.
