Default missed chance?
Just doing a search on a few domain names and noticed that lansdowneroad.ie was only registered last week!

Looks like an individual registered it rather than the IRFU and if so isn't this is major blunder by Irish Rugby? Everyone knows that stadium as lansdowne road, even if they do sell naming rights to it!

Question is though are they going to want it when the new stadium is finished? Would they be forced to buy it off the registered owner or would the owner have it give it up? There is no website there yet.

Might be interesting!

Unfortunately a LOT of businesses and organisations in this country do very little to protect their brands online, so they may not even notice

From the whois info the registered user is a sole trader, so they would have a registered business name which must somewhat represent the domain name right? Which would mean they have every right to the name, and a legit reason for having it - providing they aren't squatting.

If Irish Rugby want the name they can buy the business and the domain goes along with it.

That would involve a UDRP

They wouldn't need to, as they'd already qualify for the domain name under the IEDR's rules. It would simply be a matter of a transfer (whether cash changed hands or not)

Even if the registered owner wasn't willing to give it up?
