Irish cricket stadium to host 2030 T20 World Cup games
Summary

Cricket Ireland's new stadium at Abbottstown is on schedule to be ready for the 2030 men's T20 World Cup, according to chief executive Sarah Keane. The venue will feature permanent seating for 4,240 spectators, expandable to 12,000 with temporary stands. Construction, primarily funded by the Irish government, has faced minor delays due to design discussions, but Keane remains confident about meeting deadlines. The stadium is being designed for year-round use, allowing for other sports alongside cricket, and aims to provide a permanent facility for Ireland's national teams. A white-ball series against England is planned as the first international fixtures at the stadium in late 2029.
