Thomond Park
Páirc Thuamhan
Home ground of Munster rugby. Take a stadium tour or watch a match to experience Irish rugby culture.
Thomond Park is the home ground of Munster Rugby and holds around 26,000 spectators. It is famous for Munster's legendary 1978 victory over the New Zealand All Blacks. A signature tradition is the 'Thomond Silence,' when the whole crowd falls quiet while the opposing team kicks at goal. On non-match days, you can book a tour of about an hour, which takes you through the changing rooms, the players' tunnel, the pitch sideline and the museum, for about €12. During the season (September to May), you can buy tickets to see United Rugby Championship or European Cup matches, and large concerts are occasionally held here in summer. It's about a 15-minute walk from the city centre across the Thomond Bridge.
