Páirc Uí Chaoimh

Term Tickets Please note that the 5-

year ticket scheme for

Páirc Uí Chaoimh ended

in 2011 and has not been

renewed due to the

redevelopment of the

stadium.

County Leagues Report 56% of games have now been played across all County leagues.

However, in recent years there has been a drop-off in the number of

league games played in June, July and August, and while we recognise

that clubs have Championship commitments at this time of year, we

would urge everyone to make an effort to get league games played when

the opportunity arises.

Clubs who have won their first rounds, and those who win their Round 2

games, may not see competitive action again for some time and might

consider using this time to play outstanding league games. For League

tables, fixtures and results, see www.gaacork.ie.
