Sports Team Coach Hire in Dublin

Dublin is Ireland's sports capital, with Croke Park (capacity 82,300, the third-largest stadium in Europe) as the home of Gaelic football and hurling, the Aviva Stadium at Lansdowne Road (capacity 51,700) as the home of Irish rugby union and association football, and several League of Ireland football clubs with their own grounds in the city. GAA match day in Croke Park, particularly for All-Ireland finals and semi-finals in July and August, generates the largest single-event coach demand in Ireland.

We cover team coaches (the playing squad travelling to and from away venues), supporter coaches (groups of supporters from any part of Ireland travelling to Dublin for a match), and stadium-to-hotel shuttles for visiting teams and officials. For international teams competing at the Aviva or in Croke Park, we provide secure and confidential transport with experienced drivers.

Croke Park: GAA and All-Ireland Finals

Croke Park (Jones Road, Drumcondra, 3 kilometres north of O'Connell Street) is the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association and the home of the All-Ireland hurling and football championships. At 82,300 capacity it is the third-largest stadium in Europe. The All-Ireland semi-finals (July) and finals (August -- the first Sunday in August for hurling, the last Sunday in August for football) are the busiest coach hire days of the year in Dublin. Coach drop-off is on Jones Road and Russell Street; coaches stage in the Clonliffe Road area and in the designated holding area on the west side of the stadium. For away county teams travelling to Croke Park from provincial grounds (Thurles, Ennis, Sligo, Letterkenny), we provide direct team coaches from the county town to the team hotel and the stadium.

Aviva Stadium: Rugby and Association Football

The Aviva Stadium (Lansdowne Road, Ballsbridge, 4.5 kilometres south-east of the city centre) is the home of the Ireland rugby union team (IRFU) and the Republic of Ireland football team (FAI). It has a seating capacity of 51,700 and is used for Six Nations internationals (February to March), summer test matches, and international football qualifiers and friendlies. The Autumn Nations Series internationals (November) are among the most sought-after tickets in Irish sport. Coach drop-off is on Lansdowne Road and Shelbourne Road; the post-match collection area is on Merrion Road. For visiting international teams, we provide secure hotel-to-stadium transport with police liaison where required.

League of Ireland: Shamrock Rovers, Bohemians, and Shelbourne

Dublin's League of Ireland clubs play at Tallaght Stadium (Shamrock Rovers, 15 kilometres south-west via the M50, cap. 10,000), Dalymount Park (Bohemians, Phibsborough, 3 kilometres north of O'Connell Street, cap. 4,500), Tolka Park (Shelbourne, Drumcondra, 3.5 kilometres north, cap. 5,000), and Richmond Park (St Patrick's Athletic, Inchicore, 4 kilometres west, cap. 5,000). We provide supporter coaches for away trips and team coaches for home and away League of Ireland fixtures. For Europa League and Conference League qualifying matches (which Dublin clubs participate in regularly), we provide airport-to-hotel and hotel-to-stadium transport for visiting clubs.
