St Patrick's GAA (Donabate)

St Patrick's, Donabate GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Donabate, County Dublin, Ireland.

Club history
Prior to 1924, Gaelic football was played in Donabate and Portrane by the Stars of Fingal. In 1924 a new club was formed which took the name of the patron saint of the parish, Saint Patrick.

One of the highlights of the club's history was the winning of the club's first Dublin Junior Football Championship in 1980, a feat repeated in 2008. More recently in the club's history it achieved 3 league promotions in a row from 2011 to 2014. Most notably winning Division 2 of the Dublin Adult Football League for the first time in 2013. An achievement then repeated in 2024. Three Players played in both seasons winning AFL2 Niall Collins, Conor Dowling and Adam Darby. In 1987 St Patrick's GAA club was named as Irelands highest achieving Minor Club (Under 1,000 Members)

2021 Was a momentous year for the club, as it saw its men's first team win the Dublin Intermediate Football Championship for the first time in the clubs history. It would see them play Senior Championship for the first time ever, in 2022.

The club's playing pitches are located in Robbie Farrell Park, Ballymastone, Donabate, Co Dublin. Great progress has been made in recent years through the establishment of a capital development fund.
