The National Stadium (Irish: An Staid Náisiúnta) (often referred to as the National Boxing Stadium or the National Sporting Arena) in Dublin, Ireland, is a purpose-built boxing stadium built and operated by the Irish Athletic Boxing Association.[2] Major General W. R. E. Murphy, Deputy Commissioner of the Garda Síochána (police) proposed building the stadium in early 1935 and started fundraising with his wife Mary Agnes Murphy. Together they raised about 1/3 of the campaign.[2] Built in 1939, the venue hosts over 55 days of boxing and a number of other events each year.
