The National Sporting and Cultural Centre (French: Centre National Sportif et Culturel), better known as d'Coque, is an indoor arena in Kirchberg, a quarter of Luxembourg City, in Luxembourg.

In the late 1990s, an extended sports centre was built as an addition to the already constructed Olympic-size swimming pool.

D'Coque is the largest sports venue in Luxembourg, with a capacity of 8,300 people. It hosts trade shows and indoor sporting events, including basketball, handball, gymnastics and wrestling events. The complex has also played host to a number of notable figures including the Dalai Lama ^[1] and Elton John. It also recently hosted the Fencing world cup.

The 2013 Games of the Small States of Europe (GSSE) were hosted at d'Coque and included Basketball, Volleyball, Table tennis, and Swimming (sport) events.
