ABout The Riac
General
The Irish Automobile Club – as it was first known – was formed at a meeting on 22 January, 1901, and is one of the oldest motor clubs in the world.
Set up to further and promote the interests of automobilism in Ireland.
Location
Located on Dawson Street, in the heart of Dublin, the RIAC is a stone’s throw from Dáil Eireann (Irish Parliament), Government Ministries, Universities, Museums and many historic buildings. Dublin’s most popular shopping location, Grafton Street, is within a minute’s walk as is the beautiful St Stephen’s Green.
Facilities
Reading Room and Library with Wi-Fi facilities are available to members. 24 hour secure valet parking is provided year round. Meeting rooms are available for business meetings and private functions and can be arranged in advance on +353 1 677 5141 or by email: [email protected]. A valet car wash facility is also available; booking is essential (on +353 1 677 5299).
Activities
The RIAC is the holder of the sporting power on behalf of the FIA in Ireland. This power is delegated on an annual basis to Motorsport Ireland. The headquarters of Motorsport Ireland are also located in the clubhouse on Dawson Street. Amongst many activities, the RIAC organises the Pioneer Run, which celebrates the birth of Irish motoring. This event has now become an annual feature, taking place in October each year. The club also arranges a Members’ run for “interesting” cars. This takes place each year and, while it includes some basic navigational skills, it is primarily of a social nature and just for fun. If you would like to take part in these activities, please send an email to [email protected] or phone +353 1 677 5141.
