Croke Park, the historical home of GAA, (Gaelic Games) and also the Rugby & international soccer venue from 2007-2010. Croke Park is located about 1.5km from The Clarence.
Over the years Ireland’s largest venue has hosted many very unforgetable events like:
Muhammad Ali fight in 1972 , Concerts from U2, Robbie Williams, The Police, Neil Diamond, Westlife, Tina Turner, Bon Jovi and the 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games
The Gaelic Football Association was founded in 1884 and the early motivations were both sporting and cultural. They formalised the codes of the ancient games of Gaelic football, hurling and handball in an attempt to revive and modernise them. This proved very successful and today it has become Ireland's largest amateur sports organisation, with more than 2,000 clubs nationwide. In Gaelic football, players propel a soccer-size ball with their feet and hands, whereas in hurling a much smaller ball is hit and dribbled with a stick. Both games have teams of up to 15 players and the games last for two 35 minutes periods. There are many minor matches and these are played from August to May in public parks, usually on Saturday afternoons. Larger matches are held in the many major grounds and senior clubs.
