It is the first stadium in Ireland to be owned and operated by a local authority, South Dublin County Council.
The stadium's record attendance was set during a 2022 UEFA Europa Conference League group stage match.
The venue has served as the temporary home for the Republic of Ireland women's national team.
The stadium was built on the site of a former industrial plot, undergoing significant redevelopment since its opening in 2009.
It features a distinct four-stand configuration, with the North Stand being the largest section.
Tallaght Stadium is the primary home ground of Shamrock Rovers, the most successful club in the League of Ireland. Located in South Dublin, the venue has a current capacity of approximately 10,000 spectators following the completion of its North Stand expansion. It is a UEFA Category 4 stadium, allowing it to host international competitive matches and high-level club fixtures. The pitch features a synthetic Desso GrassMaster surface, common in modern European stadia. In addition to football, the stadium serves as a multi-purpose venue for community events and occasional rugby matches. It remains the only major purpose-built football stadium in the Dublin 24 area.
The elevated walkway near the North Stand provides a panoramic view of the entire pitch and the Dublin Mountains in the distance.
Check the Shamrock Rovers official fixture list before arrival as ticket availability varies by match type.
