LAYA Healthcare has announced a naming rights partnership with the RDS and Leinster Rugby, which will see the iconic RDS Main Arena renamed ‘Laya Arena’. Following the completion of a €52m redevelopment programme, primarily of the Anglesea Stand, the Laya Arena will boast a capacity in excess of 20,000. The arena is set to reopen as a premier destination for sport with the annual Dublin Horse Show in August 2026 as it’s first major event.

The redevelopment work was clearly evident at last year’s Horse Show, where a reduction in seating capacity failed to dampen the enthusiasm of attendees.
