The rugby and association football stadium at Lansdowne Road in Ballsbridge, Dublin, long known as Lansdowne Road, is now called the Aviva Stadium for sponsorship purposes, or the Dublin Arena. It was built on the site of the former Lansdowne Road stadium. It is the home ground of the Ireland National Rugby Union Team and the Republic of Ireland National Football Team. It is classified as a UEFA Elite Stadium. It is also one of the Six Nations Rugby Stadiums.

The stadium has an all-seater capacity of 51,700 in a four-tier configuration. The lower tier and the upper tier are for general access, the second tier is for premium tickets, and the third tier is for 36 luxury boxes. The north stand is single-tier due to its proximity to townhouses. The roof was designed to undulate in a wave-like manner so as to avoid blocking light to local homes. The stadium is co-owned by the Irish Rugby Football Union and the Football Association of Ireland.

The stadium hosted the 2011 UEFA Europa League Final.
