The Gaelic Grounds, known for sponsorship reasons as the Integral GAA Grounds,[1] is a GAA stadium in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland. It was the home of the Louth gaelic football team from 1926 until 2020.[2] Its official opening took place in April 1926, with Louth taking on Dublin. The game ended in a 0–6 to 0–2 win for Louth.[2]
The ground has a capacity of about 3,500[3] and was one of the smallest GAA county grounds in Ireland. Drogheda club side O'Raghallaighs lease the facilities from Louth GAA and have played their home matches in the Gaelic Grounds since the 1970s.[4][5]
