About Us:

Opened in 1994, the National Basketball Arena is the home of Irish basketball – the stage for FIBA EuroBasket and FIBA Women’s EuroBasket games, the National Cup Finals, and a host of underage European tournaments.

Beyond basketball, the Arena regularly hosts a wide variety of events – from horticultural shows and Lego exhibitions to corporate conferences, exams, and trade fairs. As a not-for-profit venue, all income from bookings supports the development of Irish basketball at grassroots and national levels.”
