Croke Park has the largest capacity of any stadium in Ireland and the fourth largest in Europe
The following is a list of sports stadiums in Ireland. This includes stadiums in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. They are ordered by their capacity; i.e. the maximum number of spectators the stadium can accommodate. The capacity figures are permanent total capacity as authorised by the controlling body, including seating and any standing areas, and excluding any temporary seating.
Most stadiums are used for Gaelic games, association football, or rugby union.
This list is incomplete.
