Ravenhill to host Celtic League decider

Ulster's Kingspan Stadium will host the Guinness PRO12 final in May.

Up until now, the decider was hosted by the highest seed to qualify for the Celtic League showpiece.

However, that will change this season with the announcement today that this year's final will be in Belfast  .

The teams that finish first and second in the regular season will still get home advantage for their semi-finals.

"We are extremely pleased that our bid to host the Guinness PRO12 Final was successful," said Shane Logan, CEO of Ulster Rugby.

"Kingspan Stadium is now a state-of-the-art rugby stadium, fit to stage a game of this magnitude.

"While we hope that our province is in the final, we are fully committed to working with the PRO12 to ensure that regardless of who contests it, that this event is a huge success.”

PRO12 Rugby Tournament Director, David Jordan, said: "We have been working with all our clubs to build the PRO12 rugby brand and the announcement today is an important step in showcasing our fantastic competition.

"Our last five sell out Finals were truly memorable rugby spectacles and, building on this success, we look forward to welcoming fans to Belfast for what will be a fantastic rugby weekend."
