Planning and digital renders for a new stadium and high performance centre for Cricket Ireland in Dublin have been lodged by Sport Ireland.<\/b><\/p>\n

The plans include a floodlit stadium with a seated capacity of 4,240 spectators and a two-story pavilion, where the sport’s high performance centre would be located.<\/p>\n

A proposal for an extra 7,760 non-permanent seats, which would bring the total capacity up to 12,000 for selected events, has also been put forward.<\/p>\n

Development of a new stadium was granted by the Irish government in August, with the project has been earmarked for completion in 2028.<\/p>\n

In August, Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutrom said<\/a> the development of a new stadium would allow Ireland to “host the world’s top teams on an annual basis”, which would include co-hosting the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup with England and Scotland in 2030.<\/p>\n

Cricket Ireland officials are understood to have visited the Hagley Oval in Christchurch, New Zealand and Hampshire’s Utilita Bowl in Southampton to gain inspiration for the new ground’s design.<\/p>\n

The stadium will be based at the Sport Ireland campus in Blanchardstown, which is in the north west outskirts of Dublin. <\/p>\n

The campus already contains the headquarters of the Football Association of Ireland, Irish rugby’s high performance centre, Aquatics Ireland and is Ireland’s Olympics and Special Olympics hub. <\/p>\n

Ireland’s senior men’s and women’s teams use grounds in Malahide, Clontarf, Stormont, and Bready for international matches.<\/p>\n

Cricket Ireland and Sport Ireland have been contacted for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
