About Thomond Park

Thomond Park is one of the finest stadiums in Ireland. It’s the home of Munster Rugby, Shannon RFC and UL Bohemians RFC. In the past, it has also hosted Rugby World Cup matches and Ireland internationals. Thomond Park was inducted into the RugbyPass Hall of Fame in 2021.

First opened in 1934, Thomond Park is a historic stadium that holds a special place in the hearts of Irish rugby fans. It’s famed for its raucous noise during open play and its complete silence when players kick for goal. Plus, it also gained a formidable reputation as a place for teams to visit when Munster went on a 12-year unbeaten run at the stadium in the Heineken Champions Cup between 1995 and 2007.

In 1998 and 1999, following the introduction of professional rugby in Ireland, Thomond Park was upgraded, with a new pitch, floodlights and terracing introduced. Then, in 2006, the stadium was entirely redeveloped and the capacity was expanded to 25,630. Shortly following this, in 2013, Thomond Park was named as The Best Rugby Stadium in the World.
