EMEA PUG Challenge2018
will be held in Dublin which is the capital, and largest city in Ireland.
The name Dublin comes from the Gaelic dubh linn or “black pool” - where the Poddle stream met the River Liffey to form a deep pool at Dublin Castle.
The city’s modern name - Baile Áth Cliath – means the “town of the ford of the hurdles”. Ireland’s four principal routeways converged at a crossing place made of hurdles of interwoven saplings straddling the low-tide Liffey.
Dublin is a historical and contemporary centre for education, the arts, economy and industry. With its historic buildings including Dublin Castle and St Patrick’s Cathedral, the city parks including Pheonix Park and St Stephen’s Green plus the National Museum of Ireland, this is one venue you will not want to miss.
Croke Park Stadium
As the home of Ireland's largest sporting and cultural organisation, the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) - Croke Park has played host to iconic moments in Irish sport & history and to major cultural and international events.
The stadium is one of the largest in Europe, with a capacity of 82,300 and can accommodate all types of events - from field sports to concerts, meetings to tradeshows and bespoke banqueting.
Conveniently located, just 5 minutes from the city centre and 15 minutes from Dublin’s Airport and M50 motorway – Croke Park offers you the best of both worlds during your visit.
All the benefits, amenities and things-to-do you expect of a vibrant city location, yet without the hassle of congestion and off-site parking. There’s plenty of public transport options too!
