Croke Park

CultureParks

Steeped in history, Croke Park is home to the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), Ireland’s biggest sporting organisation. During the Irish War of Independence, on November 21, 1920, the park was the scene of a massacre when British forces entered the grounds and fired shots into the crowd, killing 14. Eighty seven years on, a major change in Irish attitude saw Croke Park hosting not only what was considered a foreign game, but welcoming the English rugby team to the grounds. More recently, in 2011, the Queen of England paid a visit to the grounds, in a bid to advance the peace process.
