The Irishtown Stadium is an association football stadium in the Republic of Ireland based in Ringsend/Irishtown, Dublin. It was originally built in the 1950s and used as a home ground by Shelbourne F.C. However Shels only spent one season, 1955–56, playing competitive first-team matches there. The stadium was renovated in 2004 through funding provided by the city council along with Dublin Docklands Development Authority and the National Lottery,[1] and is now managed by Dublin City Council. Irishtown Stadium features a pavilion which contains a fully equipped gymnasium, an aerobics studio and meeting rooms. There are also track and field facilities, including a 400m running track and long jump pits. Association football facilities include five floodlit, all-weather five-a-side football pitches and a full-sized UEFA–standard astropitch.[2][3][4] Its regular tenants/users include two association football clubsSt. Patrick's C.Y.F.C.[5] and Liffey Wanderers F.C.
