EVENTS THRIVE ON THAT

PASSION

For over one hundred years, Croke Park has been home to the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), attracting crowds of 82,300 to Ireland’s national games – hurling and Gaelic football.

The GAA is one of the world’s greatest amateur sporting organisations. Since 1884 the GAAhas been building communities on and off the pitch, making it a natural catalyst for bringing people together.

OUR LIVING LEGACY

Every year Croke Park showcases epic battles in hurling and Gaelic football, transforming the stadium into a cathedral of colour, passion and energy. The perfect stage.

At Croke Park Meetings & Events, the GAA is an integral part of who we are and what we stand for. We draw our energy and inspiration from the people and passion that make it all possible.You cannot but be inspired.
