Sports & Activities
Ireland has a wealth of sport for all
Sports enthusiasts will feel right at home in Dublin as the Capital is well-known for its devotion to sport. Whether you are an avid golfer, a soccer fanatic or just enjoy walking, Dublin provides a variety of activities throughout the year. You can experience a live Gaelic Games match at Croke Park, a race meeting in Leopardstown Race Course, the excitement of a rugby game at the recently refurbished Aviva Stadium (Lansdowne Road Stadium) or the beauty of over 60 golf courses including Luttrellstown.
The legendary Royal Dublin Golf Club is located on an island in Dublin Bay, just a short drive from The CCD, with a special golfing package available for CCD delegates.
There are also many wonderful golf courses just a short journey from Dublin, such as Powerscourt Golf Club at the Powerscourt Estate, set in the breath-taking Wicklow mountains beside the luxurious Ritz-Carlton - perfect for a post-conference break!
Another stunning course is the magnificent K Club in Straffan, County Kildare, designed by Arnold Palmer and home of the Ryder Cup 2006. Located just 30 minutes from the city, this resort offers preferential rates for delegates from The CCD.
Dublin also caters to those who enjoy the outdoors. Its breath-taking coastline and mountains, only a short trip from the city centre, offer a host of fun possibilities including cycling, hiking, walking, fishing, windsurfing, and kayaking.
