Croke Park - The Home of G.A.A
Croke Park is Ireland's leading sports and entertainment venue. It is the home of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), which has been at the heart of Irish sport since the 1880s. It is also one of Ireland's premier concert venues, having hosted many well-known artists such as Ed Sheeran, Take That and our own U2.
Even if you're not in the city for a concert, Croke Park offers a GAA Museum tour and a Stadium tour. The GAA Museum tour celebrates the history of Ireland's national games and brings to life how the GAA has contributed to Ireland's cultural and sporting heritage. Check out the popular interactive games zone, where you can test your hurling and Gaelic football skills. The Stadium Tour gives you access to all areas, from how they keep the pitch so green to the defining moments in Irish history that have played out here.
