Dublin
Updated .
the local sports scene
Dublin is a GAA city that learned to love rugby and football without giving up either — and every pub has a opinion on all three.
The local sports scene
The scene
Croke Park holds 82,000 for hurling and football finals; the Aviva sits closer to the centre for Ireland and Leinster. Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians divide the League of Ireland along class and geography lines that date to the 1890s. The42 and Independent.ie carry the sports desk work that RTÉ used to monopolise.
Rivalries that matter
Dublin against Kerry in football, Kilkenny in hurling — the county rivalries are the real calendar. Rovers against Bohs is the Dublin derby that still matters on a Friday night in Inchicore.
Where to watch
Temple Bar is for tourists; Phibsborough and Ringsend for Bohs and Rovers nights; Donnybrook on Leinster evenings.
