The GAA pitches in the 15 Acres area of the Phoenix Park are assigned to individual GAA clubs by the Office Of Public Works. The following clubs have a pitch allocation on the 15 Acres for the period 2023-2025:

  • St. Oliver Plunkett Eoghan Ruadh GAA Club
  • St Brigid's GAA Club
  • Naomh Fionnbarra GAA Club
  • Good Counsel GAA Club
  • Liffey Gaels GAA & Camogie Club
The OPW assigns a pitch to each club but thereafter, it is a matter for the Clubs and Dublin GAA how the pitches are allocated for matches. The OPW meets regularly with representatives of the County Board and has ongoing contact with the aforementioned five GAA Clubs. Neither the County Board or any of the Clubs have raised any issues in respect of pitch allocations with the OPW.
