Páirc Uí Chaoimh

Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Sports stadium in Ballintemple, Cork, Ireland

Páirc Uí Chaoimh is a Gaelic games stadium in Ballintemple, Cork, with a green rectangular pitch, a covered stand along one side and a low concrete wall with metal fencing in front. It holds 45,000 spectators, making it Ireland's third-largest Gaelic games venue.

Páirc Uí Chaoimh was officially opened on 6 June 1976 by GAA president Con Murphy, with Cork playing Kilkenny in hurling and Kerry in football that day. It was named after Pádraig Ó Caoimh, GAA general secretary from 1929 to 1964, and designed by Cork engineers Horgan and Lynch with an initial capacity of 50,288. The ground replaced the Cork Athletic Grounds, which dated from 1904. A two-year redevelopment closed it from 2015 and it reopened in 2017.

The stadium is named after Pádraig Ó Caoimh, GAA general secretary from 1929 to 1964, and its main stand honours Sean Mac Carthaigh. From 1977 to 1987 it hosted Siamsa Cois Laoi, an annual weekend festival of country, folk and Irish traditional music headlined by Glen Campbell, Joan Baez and The Pogues.

Public transportation offers the best access to the grounds, with bus services stopping near Ballintemple. Parking is available on-site, though it fills quickly on match days, so arriving early is recommended.

The ground is named after Pádraig Ó Caoimh, GAA general secretary from 1929 to 1964, who was from Cork. The main stand honours Seán Mac Carthaigh. The record attendance of 49,961 was set in 1985 for the Munster hurling final between Cork and Tipperary.
