It is built on the site of the former Lansdowne Road stadium, which was demolished in 2007, and replacing it as home to its chief tenants: the Irish rugby union team and the Republic of Ireland football team.
Stadionet er bygget på stedet, hvor det gamle Lansdowne Road-stadion lå, som blev revet ned i 2007, og erstatter det stadion som hjemmebane for sine hovedlejere: Det irske rugby union team og Irlands fodboldlandshold.
