The first question from most supporters planning on travelling to Galway are standard, i.e. where is the ground, where can I stay and how do I get there?

Getting to Galway: Connacht rugby is based in Galway. Galway airport has four times daily flights to and from Dublin and also operates daily services to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and Luton. Shannon airport is just over an hours drive to the south, while traveling from Dublin takes two hours and fifty minutes by train. The Sportsground: Within the Sportsground, there is a bar and restaurant under the main stand which includes a merchandise shop, while the upstairs-enclosed area also has a bar as well as the very popular corporate entertainment facilities. Getting there: The Sportsground is situated on College Road, approx ten-minute walk from the centre of Galway and the rail and bus station. It can be accessed easily from the Dublin/Limerick road and there is car parking at the ground. Supporters are advised to arrive reasonably early to secure a space, otherwise parking is available in the vicinity.
