The Arcul de Triumf National Rugby Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Bucharest, Romania. Being constructed on the site of the former stadium, it mostly hosts home matches of the Romania national rugby union team[1] and FC Dinamo București. It was originally planned to host games at the 2021 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, but the tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

It is named after the nearby triumphal arch in Bucharest.

Austria, France and Ukraine's squads were based at the stadium during preparation for (and between matches at) UEFA Euro 2020.[3][4][5]

The first sporting event held at the stadium was on 3 July 2021 when a rugby union crowd of 4,400 watched the summer internationals header featuring Romania v Argentina, which ended with a 17-24 loss.[6]
