Aer Lingus College Football Classic - TCU v North Carolina

The Aer Lingus College Football Classic returns to Dublin with TCU Horned Frogs v North Carolina Tar Heels at the Aviva Stadium. It’s one of Dublin’s most unique sporting events - proper American college football with tailgating, marching bands, and thousands of US fans descending on the city.

What to Expect

The Aviva gets transformed for American football, thousands of US fans flood Dublin for the week, and the city buzzes with the energy of a major American sporting event. The tailgate parties in the days before the game are legendary. Even if you’re not a football fan, it’s a brilliant spectacle.
