GAA Museum & Tours

This guide to the GAA Museum at Croke Park in Dublin follows the objects in its cases back to a single Sunday in November 1920, when a challenge match between Dublin and Tipperary was underway and Crown forces entered the stadium. You'll hear about Annie Burke, a woman from Sligo who was in the crowd that day and kept a battered pair of glasses for the rest of her life, and about a spare bootlace, a prayer book and other relics tied to the players and bystanders on the pitch. It's told beneath the stand that still carries a name from that day, among the letters and tickets the museum has gathered to hold onto it.
