The Waterford Regional Sports Centre (or simply, the RSC) is part of Waterford Corporation's Municipal sporting facilities and home to Waterford United of the League of Ireland [1].
Included on another site is an 18 hole pitch-and-putt course, an indoor hall, football pitches and tennis courts. The complex also had a Skateboard Park. The RSC comprises two stands. The Cork Road West Stand, opened in May 1996 has capacity of 1,275 seats. The new Kilbarry side East Stand which holds 1,760 opened in May 2008 and brings seating capacity to 3,100. There are future plans to extend the West Stand to bring the overall seated capacity to near 5,000.
The RSC also contains a tartan athletics track which runs around the soccer pitch.
In September 2009, it hosted the League of Ireland Cup Final as Bohemians beat Waterford United 3-1.[1]
In February 2010 Munster A played Nottingham R.F.C. in the British and Irish Cup at the ground[2].
The Republic of Ireland national football team U23s played their english counterparts at the RSC in May 2010 [2].
