The International Rugby Experience

What Does it Take to Become a Legend?...
Discover at the International Rugby Experience
in the heart of Limerick city – Ireland’s spiritual home of rugby!

Hear the stories | Feel the passion | Test your skills

The International Rugby Experience is the Home of Legends!

While the experience celebrates the game at an international level, it is located in the very centre of Limerick City – known throughout the world as the spiritual home of rugby. A fully interactive, immersive experience, this is the ideal destination for multi-generational groups and families, with everyone having fun every step of the way.

Feel the hairs rise on the back of your neck as you move through six, awe-inspiring stages that follow the game from a community, grass roots level up to the players, clubs and nations that have reached legendary status. Rooted in World Rugby's values of Passion, Discipline, Integrity, Solidarity and Respect, discover the real people behind the game, as well as how it has impacted politics, brought rivals together, transformed communities and improved lives.

Within a building of striking architecture (voted the Nation’s Favourite Building in 2023 by the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland), experience all the energy and excitement of game day, test your own skills at interactive trials with virtual coaching by some famous faces, and relive famous historical moments through immersive theatre spaces. End in the legend’s gallery with amazing 360 views across Limerick city taking in everything from Georgian streets to Castles, Church spires and the hills of Clare.
