Before its demolition in 2007, Lansdowne Road was the oldest operational international rugby stadium in the world. Its sporting heritage dates back to 1872, when Henry William Dunlop founded the Irish Champion Athletic Club on the site. The very first international rugby match on the grounds took place in 1878, featuring Ireland against England.
