Introducing Laya Arena
Every moment up close
Welcome to Laya Arena
A new era for Ireland's iconic arena
Laya healthcare is proud to unveil Laya Arena, in partnership with the RDS and Leinster Rugby.
Formerly the RDS Arena, this landmark partnership marks a bold new chapter for one of Ireland’s most beloved venues, now re-imagined for the future of sport, music and live entertainment.
Following a once-in-a-generation €52 million redevelopment, the over 20,000-seat Laya Arena will open its doors in summer 2026 with the Dublin Horse Show set to be the first major event to take place in the transformed space.
