The GAA Museum celebrates 25 years!

Ireland’s much loved GAA Museum is celebrating 25 years this week and continues to be a top visitor attraction, picking up a host of new awards including 2023 Travellers’ Choice Winner and 2023 Experts' Choice Award. To celebrate, we are doing daily giveaways on our social media channels next week! Prizes include tour family passes and more, so keep your eyes peeled to win! 

The GAA Museum is famous for being the home of all the archives and artefacts of the Gaelic Athletic Association, which are brought to life in a fun and interactive way for all ages and tourists. It is the place where sporting heroes are honoured and the vibrancy of Irish sport and culture is celebrated. 

If you have never been to the GAA Museum, now is your chance to join in the 25th anniversary celebrations!  The museum gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the spine-tingling and completely unique story of Gaelic games from ancient times to the present day, and vividly brings to life how the GAA has contributed to our cultural, social and sporting heritage. Featured exhibitions include the original Sam Maguire and Liam MacCarthy Cups, the rousing Hall of Fame, and a whole floor dedicated to the games as they are today. When you’re done exploring, get a taste of the action in the popular Interactive Games Zone, where you can test your hurling and Gaelic football skills!
 
As part of the anniversary celebrations, the much-loved Club Wall in front of the museum in the Cusack Stand will also be recreated in the coming months. The updated wall highlights the growth and strength of our sports in Ireland and overseas and incorporates crests of all clubs in Gaelic games from Ireland and around the world.

Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael Larry McCarthy said: "The original club wall was installed in 2009 as part of the GAA's 125 celebrations and was warmly received. No visit to the GAA museum is complete without looking up our own club crest and it represents an important link between Croke Park and every unit, no matter where they are active around the globe."

The GAA Museum is also free to visit for anyone who books tickets for the iconic Croke Park Stadium Tour, Skyline Tour, Hurloween Tour or Teidi Tour.
