A photographic record of Notre Dame’s 2012 Dublin game weekend

Built around the 2012 Emerald Isle Classic between Notre Dame and Navy at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, this large-format collection places a football event within the university’s long-standing connection to Ireland. Nearly two hundred photographs by senior university photographer Matt Cashore document Dublin’s sights, historic locations, and cultural landmarks alongside the gathering of Fighting Irish supporters. Brief captions by Brian add cultural and historical context, giving the images a framework beyond the game itself. The book preserves a particular meeting point of collegiate football, travel, university identity, and Irish heritage.

Book overview

The University of Notre Dame's connection with Ireland has been entrenched in Notre Dame's heritage and identity since the founding of the university in 1842. The university is also closely associated with Ireland through its renowned football team, the Fighting Irish. When some thirty-five thousand Americans descended on Dublin, Ireland, for the Emerald Isle Classic football game between Notre Dame and Navy (played on September 1, 2012) at Aviva Stadium, the relationship between Notre Dame and the land and its people was celebrated throughout Dublin and the rest of Ireland. Now the allure of both Ireland and the Emerald Isle Classic football game are brought together in Notre Dame's Happy Returns: Dublin, the Experience, the Game. Senior University Photographer Matt Cashore took thousands of photographs for this book, and has selected nearly two hundred of his favorite shots for this large-format collection, capturing the sights, historic places, and cultural riches that make Ireland special for fans of the Fighting Irish.

Woven together with brief cultural and historical captions by Brian
