Portobello GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the Rathmines area of the south side of Dublin in Ireland. The club has adult men's football, hurling, camogie, ladies' Gaelic football and handball teams.[1]

History

Portobello GAA was founded in 1974 to support local participation in Gaelic games. The club is focused on Gaelic football and hurling, and is known for attracting players who have relocated to Dublin from other parts of the country that wished to continue playing Gaelic games.[2] As such, Portobello has gained a reputation as a "country club" in the city.

Liz Howard, former president of the Camogie Association, was a member of the club from 2006 onwards.[3]

In 2024, the French national GAA team played their first ever 15 a side game against Portobello at Leinster Road.[4] [5] [6] The French ambassador to Ireland, Vincent Guérend, attended the game.[7]

Teams

Portobello GAA, which has no juvenile divisions, fields both men's and ladies' teams in Gaelic football and hurling:

The club is based in the Dublin 6 area, around Rathmines and Portobello. Its grounds are based at Leinster Road, beside Cathal Brugha Barracks[14] while the camogie team plays at Phoenix Park.[15]
