Leinster have confirmed that they will play their two home Champions Cup pool games against Clermont and Bath at the Aviva Stadium.
Following the draw in July, Leinster were drawn with French sides La Rochelle and Clermont Auvergne and Premiership clubs Bath and Bristol Bears, with Leinster to play Clermont and Bath at home.
With the RDS Arena unavailable for 2024/25 due to redevelopment, the Aviva Stadium will be home for the majority of Leinster Rugby home games, with Croke Park also available. Last month, Leinster confirmed that Croke Park would host the URC game with Munster Rugby in October.
Aviva Stadium was confirmed on Monday morning as the venue for both Pool 2 home games.
