Located within the RDS complex in Ballsbridge, Laya Arena is one of Dublin’s leading venues for sport, concerts and major live events. Following an extensive refurbishment, the arena combines its long-established heritage with modern facilities, improved accessibility and an enhanced visitor experience.

A key feature of the redevelopment is the Anglesea Stand, which provides comfortable seating and excellent views of the action. The arena can accommodate up to 20,600 spectators for sporting events and is closely associated with Leinster Rugby and the annual Dublin Horse Show.

Laya Arena is also designed as a major outdoor concert venue, with capacity for audiences of up to 40,000. Its large-scale layout makes it suitable for headline tours, music festivals and spectacular live productions, adding an important new option to Dublin’s concert and entertainment scene.

Accessibility and sustainability are central to the venue’s design, with inclusive visitor facilities, solar-energy generation, water-conservation measures and modern waste-management systems incorporated throughout.

With its convenient Ballsbridge location and excellent public transport connections, Laya Arena provides an impressive setting for unforgettable sporting occasions, concerts and large-scale entertainment.
