Dublin will host the Heineken Cup final for the first time in 10 years in 2013 when Europe’s top club competition will be decided at the new Aviva Stadium, tournament organisers said yesterday.
The final, won by an Irish province in four of the last six years, was last held in Dublin in 2003 when Toulouse beat Perpignan in an all-French final at the old Lansdowne Road.
The 50,000-seat Aviva Stadium, built on the grounds of the flattened Lansdowne Road, opened its gates a year ago and hosted April’s Heineken Cup semi-final between champions Leinster and 2010 winners Toulouse.
