History

Ireland against England is one of the Six Nations' great rivalries, and in 2027 the two open the championship under the Friday-night lights at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. The tournament grew from the 19th-century Home Nations and later the Five Nations, taking its current shape when Italy joined in 2000 to make six, and it remains the northern hemisphere's showpiece, with a Grand Slam awaiting any side that wins all five of its matches.

The Aviva stands on the historic Lansdowne Road site in Ballsbridge, rebuilt and reopened in 2010 with a distinctive curved glass frame and a capacity of around 51,700, a short walk or DART ride from the city centre. Dublin fills fast for a Six Nations weekend as travelling support arrives in numbers, and the atmosphere spills from the ground into the pubs of Temple Bar and beyond. Stay central for the full match-weekend buzz, with the Georgian squares and the Guinness Storehouse close by.

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.
