Thomond Park Stadium Tour & Museum
About
Thomond Park is Munster Rugby's home ground on Cratloe Road, a stadium with a fearsome reputation and a place in Irish sporting folklore, not least for the day Munster beat the All Blacks here in 1978. The stadium tour and museum take you behind the scenes, into the dressing rooms, out through the tunnel and pitchside, with the museum telling the story of Munster and Limerick rugby. It runs about an hour and is a genuine highlight for any rugby or sports fan, whether or not you can get to a match. On match days the whole city revolves around the ground.
