Naval Academy athletic director Chet Gladchuk and Notre Dame counterpart Jack Swarbrick joined Prime Minister of Ireland Leo Varadkar to announce that the 2020 Navy-Notre Dame game will be held at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday, August 29.
This will be the third time the two schools have played in Dublin (1996 and 2012 were the other two times).
“We are thrilled and excited to return to Aviva Stadium in Dublin for the 94th playing of the Navy-Notre Dame game,” Gladchuk said. “In 2012, it was one of the greatest airlifts in all of sports with more than 35,000 people coming from the United States to witness the beauty of Ireland and the extravaganza that is Navy-Notre Dame and we expect just as many people to return in 2020.
