The NRCA Stadium

The NRCA Stadium.

The National Rugby Centre Amsterdam (Nationaal Rugby Centrum Amsterdam) was completed in 1997 and opened by Erica Terpstra, then the Netherlands' Secretary of State for Sport. Two clubs call it home: AAC Rugby and ASRV Ascrum, alongside the Netherlands national XV. The administrative office of the Dutch Rugby Union sits in the same building.

The stadium hosts home internationals, the final of the Dutch top-division championship and the Amsterdam Sevens. It was planned through the 1980s and 1990s as Dutch rugby outgrew the federation’s former offices in Bussum. The Hague, Amersfoort and Amsterdam were all candidate sites before De Eendracht was selected.
