Audio Guide of Semple Stadium

The stadium is mainly open on match days and during official GAA events, so it does not have fixed daily tourist visiting hours. I recommend checking the fixtures calendar on the Tipperary GAA website to plan your visit around a sporting event.

Prices vary depending on the importance of the match, generally ranging from €15 to €35 for adults, with reduced rates for students and seniors. You can buy your tickets securely in advance through Ticketmaster or on the official GAA website.

If you attend a hurling or Gaelic football match, the full experience lasts about 2.5 hours, including the pre-match atmosphere and halftime. If you only stop by to see the exterior architecture and visit the nearby GAA shop, 45 minutes will be enough.

Known as the 'Cathedral of Hurling,' it is the second-largest stadium in Ireland and the spiritual home of Gaelic games in the province of Munster. Since 1910, this sacred ground has hosted some of the most legendary finals, making it a cornerstone of Irish culture.

The best time is undoubtedly during the summer months, from May to July, when the Munster Championship takes place and the atmosphere is electric. Visiting on the day of a provincial final guarantees that you will experience Irish passion at its peak.

Yes, Semple Stadium has designated wheelchair areas and accessible entry, although advance booking is necessary because availability is limited. It is recommended to contact Munster GAA directly to arrange specific accessibility passes.

Just a short walk away you will find Lár na Páirce, a fantastic museum dedicated to Gaelic games that perfectly complements a visit to the stadium. It is also worth visiting the historic Cathedral of the Assumption and nearby Holycross Abbey.

Arrive at least an hour before kick-off to avoid traffic, which is often heavy, and take advantage of parking in local schools that open their grounds. Don’t forget to download an audio guide to understand the rules of hurling, the fastest field sport in the world, before the action begins.
