South Dublin County Council is seeking a commercial partner for the naming rights of Tallaght Stadium. 

The council and the stadium have appointed Core Sponsorship to handle the tender, with sponsors being promised “a multitude of commercial options”, such as branding opportunities, media exposure and venue rental opportunities. 

The home of Shamrock Rovers, the Men’s Under 21s National Team and the Women’s National Team, the redevelopment also plans to include commercial spaces and the increase of the seating to over 10,000,- which can be supplemented by temporary on-field seating for live performances, potentially seeing attendances of 20,000. 

Cllr. Emma Murphy, mayor of South Dublin County, said: “This is an exceptional opportunity for businesses looking to be an integral part of a thriving community and also be a significant supporter of sport in Ireland. 

“With the wide range of events to be held at Tallaght Stadium in front of large international and domestic audiences, we’re really looking forward to welcoming a new partner on board to work with us to maximise the most of this new opportunity for all parties.”
