Narrative:
When we put the landing gear down on final; passing 2;500 ft the green hydraulic system quantity went to zero. All the ecams that would normally be presented in this situation were quickly reviewed and all ECAM actions where completed. We decided to land at ZZZ because of our fuel state. We had 5;200 pounds of fuel at the time of the failure. With the loss of the green system; we could not raise the gear and it is was unknown to us what the fuel burn would be with the gear down. SOP and the ZZZ airport pages suggest that all airplanes with problems should go to ZZZ1. We felt that the safest course of actions was to land at ZZZ.
