Leinster to play Champions Cup home games against Clermont and Bath at Aviva Stadium – The Irish Times

Leinster have confirmed that their two home Champions Cup games against Clermont and Bath will take place at the Aviva Stadium.

Following the draw in July, Leinster were drawn against French sides La Rochelle and Clermont Auvergne and Premiership clubs Bath and Bristol Bears, with Leinster playing at home to Clermont and Bath.

With the RDS Arena unavailable for redevelopment in 2024/25, most of Leinster Rugby’s home games will be played at the Aviva Stadium. Croke Park is also available. Last month, Leinster confirmed that Croke Park will host URC’s game against Munster Rugby in October.

The Aviva Stadium was confirmed as the venue for both Group 2 home games on Monday morning.
