Croke Park has been at the heart of Irish sporting life for over a hundred years. Boasting a capacity for 82,300 people, the stadium is the home of Gaelic games and the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). This section contains information including the history, design, facts, figures and facilities of Croke Park Stadium.
Croke Park is incorporated in Páirc an Chrócaigh Teo (PCT) and was formed in 1914. It is a holding company for the GAA and the stadium management for Croke Park. PCT is charged with managing match and non-match day events in the venue. The role is primarily to ensure that all visitors to Croke Park have a safe and enjoyable experience. It also involves maintaining, developing and maximising returns from the stadium’s assets, such as the Croke Park Conference Centre, GAA Museum, Croke Park Suites, Premium tickets and advertising opportunities.
