Galway Sportsgrounds, also known as Galway Stadium, is a multi-use stadium in Galway, Ireland. It is currently used mainly for rugby union matches and is the home stadium of Connacht Rugby. The stadium is able to hold 7,000 people.
It is commonly regarded as one of the worst stadiums in the Magners League, and has been underfunded by the Irish Rugby Football Union in comparison to rival grounds. There have been calls for redevelopment, or even a move to a new ground but there are no current plans for any work.
