Ravenhill has been the annual venue for the Ulster Schools Cup final since 1924, which is traditionally contested on St Patrick's Day.

Ravenhill has hosted 18 international matches, including pool games in both the 1991 and 1999 Rugby World Cups.

The most recent Ireland international played at the stadium was on 24 August 2007 against Italy in a warm-up match for the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

[2] Ravenhill also hosted the 2007 Under 19 Rugby World Championship final in which New Zealand defeated South Africa.

The most memorable moment in that game was when out half David Humphreys ran from the Ulster 10-metre line to score a try.

The new stand at Ravenhill was officially opened on 9 October 2009 by First Minister Peter Robinson,[4] before a match between Ulster and Bath Rugby.

[6] The stand is on the Mount Merrion side of the ground, and consists of a terraced area, over 500 premium seats, and 20 corporate boxes.
