Extend Your American Football Experience
After the excitement of American Football in Dublin—whether you’ve cheered your team on at the Aer Lingus College Football Classic, where Fort Worth Texas own TCU takes on North Carolina at the Aviva Stadium on August 29th 2026, or attending the next NFL International Series game in Dublin, make your way to the West of Ireland for a refined, relaxing escape at Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate in Galway.
Just over two hours from Dublin and conveniently located less than 90 minutes from Shannon Airport, Glenlo Abbey offers the perfect blend of timeless luxury, world-class dining, and warm Irish hospitality—set against the stunning backdrop of Lough Corrib and the rolling hills of Connemara
