Walsh Gymnasium is a multi-purpose arena in South Orange, New Jersey. The arena opened in 1939 and can seat 2,600 people. It was home to the Seton Hall University Pirates men's basketball team before they moved to Continental Airlines Arena and then the Prudential Center. Currently, the arena hosts the women's basketball and volleyball teams, and is part of the Richie Regan Recreation and Athletic Center. The building, like the school's main library, is named for His Excellency, the Right Rev. Thomas J. Walsh, S.T.D., J.U.D., Fifth Bishop of Newark and former President of the Board of Trustees.

In 2007 Seton Hall University announced that selected women's basketball games might be played in Prudential Center in Newark.
