Leinster have confirmed that next season's BKT URC derby against Munster will be held at Croke Park.
With the RDS under redevelopment, Leinster are using Aviva Stadium and Croke Park as their home grounds.
Last season’s Leinster-Munster clash was also held at Jones’s Road with over 80,000 in attendance at the home of the Gaelic Athletic Association.
James Lowe, Caelan Doris, Hugo Keenan and RG Snyman all scored in a 26-12 win for the hosts.
The fixture will take place in round four on Saturday 18 October at 5.15pm, with tickets on sale to the public on 29 August.
Leo Cullen’s side, who beat Bulls in last season’s finale to win their first silverware since 2021, are away to Stormers and Bulls in their opening two fixtures before hosting Sharks in Aviva Stadium on 11 October, and Clayton McMillan’s Munster a week later.
Leinster have said that they will return to the RDS for the start of the 2026/27 season.
They will play most of their home games this season at the Aviva with some games designated for Croke Park.
