Dublin’s Croke Park to host Ireland’s first regular season NFL game this year Dublin’s Croke Park stadium is to host Ireland’s first regular season National Football League (NFL) game.
“I’m honoured to confirm that in 2025 the NFL will play an historic, first-ever regular season game in Dublin, Ireland,” NFL executive vice president Peter O’Reilly said.
Daniel Rooney, director of business development and strategy at the Pittsburgh Steelers, said they are “excited and honoured” to play the NFL’s first regular season game in Ireland.
“The first regular season game in Ireland will be played at the iconic, historic and magnificent Croke Park stadium, home to the Gaelic Athletic Association, the GAA, and host to many tremendous sporting events and moments over the years.
He said a team from the NFL had spent “a lot of time” at Croke Park to work on how to transform the GAA stadium into an NFL venue, but said they would not yet share “any final plans for the design”.
