Dublin on a Six Nations match weekend

You fly in on the Thursday, a day before the match, so there is a full day in the city before an evening kick-off. The pubs around the centre fill with both sets of supporters and stay busy long after the final whistle.

2 nights at Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane

Two nights on Cardiff Lane in the docklands, two minutes from the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and a little over a mile from the Aviva. Breakfast is included both mornings, and there is a 22-metre pool and a gym downstairs.

Our best tips

Weather

Dublin in February is cold and damp, with daytime highs around 8°C. Rain is likely, so bring a waterproof and warm layers for the evening at the ground.

Dress code

No dress code in the stands at the Aviva, so wear what you like. Smart casual covers you for anywhere you go in town beforehand. The seats are open to the sky, though, so on a February evening the warm layers and a waterproof matter more than the rest of it.

Getting around

Getting around Dublin

The Aviva sits in Ballsbridge, just south of the centre

The stadium is a short run from the Grand Canal Dock hotel, close in rather than out of town.

The canal and St Stephen’s Green hold the quieter tables

The hotel is in Grand Canal Dock, so the waterfront bars and restaurants are a few minutes from the door, and the Georgian streets around St Stephen’s Green are roughly twenty. Temple Bar is the liveliest part of the city on a match weekend, and it is a similar walk if that is the night you are after.

Match day turns Ballsbridge into a crush

An international fills the roads around Lansdowne Road, so allow more time than the distance suggests. You make your own way to the ground on match day, and the DART into Lansdowne Road tends to move when the taxis have stopped.

Overall the event in Dublin was very good. We did have a problem when checking in at the hotel, They didn't have half of my parties names or rooms. No one on site to assist with check in from imperial ? I rang my account manager in the uk and she sorted it out with her manager.

Ireland vs England Grand Slam Weekend - Marcus H

Rob I had a ball at the Singapore F1 and wrote to you stating this… Wow this last weekend was a BALL…!!!! Your Team in the organisation were AMAZING again. In the lead up we had some dramas my end with a client dropping out last minute and SIAN stepped up and did what she does best.. provided a solution.. OUTSTANDING!! On the ground your girls were there if we needed them, thankfully there were no emergencies. We had the Craic, our seats… what can I say we couldn’t have had better seats, honestly. Overall “The best lads weekend I’ve ever been on” from my client. TOP TOP TOP. Thanks to you and your well oiled team again Rob. Please send on my congratulations to them all. I attach a picture depicting the Craic with the Irish guys behind us one having being capped.

Six Nations Rugby

I booked six hospitality tickets to the Ireland England Rugby match in Dublin. The whole experience was absolutely EXCELLENT. Great support before the event, with a very exciting itinerary, which made all of my guests very excited. The hospitality on the day was really excellent. Aside from the amazing, gourmet food, the staff were outstanding. Great seats at the ground. Just EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT and EXCELLENT
