| Gaelic Grounds | GAA | Limerick’s main GAA venue and home of the county’s hurlers. |
| Limerick Racecourse | Horse racing | Flat and jump racing at Patrickswell, south-west of the city. Busiest at Christmas. |
Getting around on match day
Thomond Park and the Gaelic Grounds are both walkable from the city centre. Limerick Racecourse is a short drive or shuttle bus from the city on race days.

The city centre around O’Connell Street has plenty of pubs, and the streets near Thomond Park fill up before Munster games.
