As we kick off another action-packed summer of football and hurling in the capital, supporters are already searching for parking at Croke Park and ways to make their journey easier. Whether you’re travelling from Cork, Donegal, Galway — or backing the Dubs on home turf — a bit of smart planning goes a long way.

From finding secure parking near Croke Park to having breakdown assistance in your back pocket, here are a few summer travel tips for Ireland’s GAA fans to keep your focus where it should be — on the game.

🅿️ Where to Park for Matches in Croke Park

Finding parking in Dublin on matchday doesn’t have to be a scramble. With Easytrip, you can park safely and securely at locations either within walking distance of Croke Park or a short hop away by Luas, DART or bus.

🏙️ Top Car Parks to Consider:

• Arnotts Car Park – Right in the city centre, handy for food, shopping, easy access to buses and taxis
• Jervis Street Car Park – Perfect for Luas access and city buzz
• Parnell Street Car Park – Easy access via O’Connell Street
• The Spire Car Park – Right by O’Connell Street, a central matchday base
• Smithfield Car Park – Great if you’re coming from the west side of town
• Phibsboro Shopping Centre – Only a short walk across the canal to Croke Park
