Remembering Bloody Sunday Tour

The GAA Museum marks the anniversary of Bloody Sunday with special commemorative guided tours at Croke Park. 

The most infamous event in the history of the GAA occurred on Sunday November 21st, 1920, when the War of Independence was raging in Ireland. A ‘great challenge’ football match took place between Tipperary and Dublin. 

Throw-in was at 3.15pm. With over 10,000 spectators gathered in Croke Park, British Auxiliary Forces were given orders to surround the stadium and block the exits. As the match continued, an armed convoy began shooting and moved inside the grounds. Rapid fire continued for about 90 seconds after which 13 people, including one player, lay dead and a further spectator died later in hospital. 

On this tour, our knowledgeable guides will outline the events and timeline of the day, remember the victims and discuss the impact Bloody Sunday had on the GAA and Ireland. 

Visitors will also have a chance to explore the GAA Museum following the tour.
