Exterior of Dublin Court

The Dublin Real Tennis Court is located a few minutes' walk from St Stephen's Green, in the centre of Dublin. It was built in 1885, was played on until 1939, and was subsequently used by University College Dublin, first as a gymnasium and more recently as a laboratory and offices.

November 2011: We are working vigorously towards the return of the Earlsfort Terrace court to play. If you would like more information regarding progress, please contact us at info@irishrealtennis.ie.
