Ravenhill Stadium, Rugby union stadium and war memorial in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Ravenhill Stadium is a rugby venue that seats around 18,000 spectators on an artificial surface. The grounds sit within walking distance of Belfast Central railway station.
The stadium was founded in 1922 as a home for Irish rugby and became Belfast's dedicated venue for the sport. Since then it has grown into a significant location for regional rugby competition.
The entrance features a memorial dedicated to rugby players lost during both World Wars. This connection between sport and remembrance remains visible to everyone who visits.
The venue is easily accessible by public transit thanks to its position near the railway station. It helps to check current access guidelines before visiting, as these can vary depending on the event.
Since 1924, the Ulster Schools Cup final takes place there yearly on Saint Patrick's Day. This annual event connects young rugby players with an important Irish cultural occasion.
