The North Circular Road (Irish: An Cuarbhóthar Thuaidh) - designated as R101 regional road - is an important thoroughfare on the northside of Dublin, in Ireland. The regional road was long considered the northern boundary of the city and still separates the city centre from the inner suburbs. It is also known for its Pevsner architecture.[1] It runs from the Phoenix Park in the west through Phibsboro, to North Wall in the east and is the location of a number of important institutions, The Mater Hospital, Dalymount Park and Mountjoy Prison are on the North Circular Road and both Croke Park and St. Brendan's Hospital are nearby.[2]

The R101 and the NCR are the same for most of their length; the entire NCR forms a section of the R101. In the west the R101 connects the NCR to Parkgate Street via the short Infirmary Road ; at the eastern end the R101 becomes Portland Row after the junction with Summerhill. It continues the northern loop through Saville Place , then turning east for its final kilometre via Sheriff Street (Upper) before terminating at North Wall Road (the R131).

The official description of the R101 from the Roads Act 1993 (Classification of Regional Roads) Order 2006 [3] reads:

R101: North Circular Road, Dublin
Between its junction with R109 at Parkgate Street and its junction with N3 at Dalymount via Infirmary Road and North Circular Road all in the city of Dublin
and
between its junction with N2 at Berkeley Road and its junction with R131 at East Wall Road via North Circular Road, Portland Row, Seville Place, Sheriff Street Lower and Sheriff Street Upper all in the city of Dublin.
