Lansdowne Road (, -gaˈbˠoːhəɾˠ ˈl̪ˠan̪ˠsˠd̪ˠuːn̪ˠIPA) was a sports stadium in Dublin owned by the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU). It was used primarily for rugby union, but also for major association football matches and music concerts. It was demolished in 2007 to make way for the construction of Aviva Stadium, due to open in 2010.
Lansdowne Road took its name from the adjacent street.
