Galway Sportsgrounds, Rugby stadium in Galway, Ireland.
Galway Sportsgrounds is a rugby stadium in Galway with a capacity of around 7,500 seats. The facility features covered stands along both sides and is surrounded by a track used for other sporting events.
The stadium opened in 1927 when a local rugby club moved there from elsewhere in the city. Over time it became an important venue for sports in the region.
The venue draws supporters who wear green and sing traditional Irish rugby songs during matches, reflecting the sport's deep roots in local life. This passion shapes the matchday experience for all who attend.
The grounds are easy to reach and have areas for different types of visitors. Bring weather-appropriate clothing since the stands are only partially covered.
The grounds host both rugby matches and greyhound racing, making it a dual-purpose sports facility. This two-fold use is what sets it apart from other rugby venues.
