We want families to play together and each team must have 2 ladies. The first game is 3pm sharp so please arrive at 2.30pm to sort teams out.
This is a fantastic way for us as a club and a community to show our support to the Arthur family at Christmas time in memory of Nora. The bar will be open and there will be music on the night from 7.30pm, hope to see you all there. Click to register.
Our annual Christmas Tree Collection Service will be held again on Saturday 4th January 2025. This is the primary collection date, but there will also be a limited collection on Saturday 11th.
The service is carried out by volunteers as a fundraiser for the club. The event will be held at the clubhouse with trees mulched on site and recycled directly from the club.
Thank you to those that have supported us over the years and we hope to see you again in the New Year.

If you haven’t had a chance yet to see the end of year video, make yourself a cuppa and enjoy this 11 minute oddessy through Clontarf GAA’s 2024, another incredible year for our club with a number of notable firsts. You might be surprised at the breadth of activities happening around the club. Remember, it’s all voluntary so we’re always open to more volunteers if you have skills in any area. The more that put up their hand, the less for everyone to do! Drop a note to chair@clontarfgaa.com if you would like to give a hand in any area.
A very special day down at Áras Chluain Tarbh today when the man himself Santa Claus came to visit and arrived in style with flashing blue lights! Lots of smiling faces to greet him and come to see him in his grotto! Merry Christmas to all!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and our new social committee has managed to secure a very special guest for us. None other than Santa Claus himself will be arriving to the clubhouse on Sunday 8th December at 2pm and will be with us until 5pm.
There will be a selection box for each child that visits Santa as well as face painting and colouring. The astro will be open.
The event is free and all are welcome, but we would appreciate if you would register in advance so we have an idea of numbers of kids who will visit Santa and what time slot you would like to be in for your visit (2-3pm, 3-4pm, 4-5pm).
The club is delighted to acknowledge being named as Senior Hurling Club of the Year by Friends of Dublin Hurling (FoDH). We are thrilled to receive the honour this year.
This is a great acknowledgement of the huge work put in by players, mentors, managers and games committee alike across Hurling and Camogie right up through the juvenile ranks, through Minor into Adult both Junior and Senior. It’s onwards and upwards from here!

We had a great social and networking evening in the club on Friday celebrating our fantastic sponsors. Our PRO Team was on hand to capture the moment. Pictures below.
We also had a changing of the guard where our previous head of sponsorship Mike Kavanagh handed the reins over to his successor Stephen Tighe. Thank you Mike for your three fantastic years of service.
If you or your company would like to be a part of our sponsor community give Stephen Tighe a call on 087 621 6926.
A full gallery of pictures from the camera of Pat Walsh who was on hand on Sunday to capture the historic ‘A Championship’ win of our Minor Hurlers. Well done again to the team and thanks Pat for these great images.
For the first time in the club’s history, Clontarf GAA are Minor A Hurling Champions, a superb achievement by the lads and their management team.
After a tight game, they pulled away in the last quarter to beat St. Jude’s by 5-19 to 2-13.
There will be a reception for the team this evening in the club and all are welcome. The astro and bar will be open from 6 and the team presentation will be at approximately 7 - 7:30pm.
