Naas, County town in Kildare North, Ireland.

Located 30 kilometers southwest of Dublin, Naas extends across rolling hills with Saint David's Castle standing at its center since 1210.

The settlement began as Nás na Ríogh, a gathering place for ancient Irish kings, and later developed into a fortified Norman market town.

The town maintains strong connections to horse racing traditions through Naas Racecourse and Punchestown Festival, which shape local social activities.

Naas connects to Dublin via the N7 road and regular train services from Sallins station, with numerous shops centered around the main street.

Kerry Group established their Global Technology and Innovation Centre in Naas, making it a center for food research and development.
