Getting to the Aviva Stadium from Dublin’s city centre is fairly easy to do. The DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) is one of the most popular options, with a direct line from various city centre stations to Lansdowne Road, which is just a short walk from the stadium.
As for driving the stadium, it is about a 10-15 minute journey from the city centre, depending on traffic. So you could look to get several bus routes, including the 4, 7, and 7A, which will drop you close to the venue. Or, you could fork out some money for a taxi or Uber.

The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) already released tickets for three of the Ireland fixtures – against Argentina, Fiji, and Australia – on general sale on Friday, 12th July.
Prices for these matches range from €25 for restricted view seats to €155 for premium seating. However, tickets for the Ireland vs. New Zealand match sold out before they even reached general sale, so you’ll need to get creative or have very deep pockets if you want to catch that one in IRL!
