About O'Connor Park
About O'Connor Park Stadium
O'Connor Park — commercially known as Glenisk O'Connor Park — is the principal GAA ground in County Offaly, located in Tullamore. Opened in 1934, the stadium has a capacity of 20,000 with a covered stand seating 7,000 that spells out 'Uíbh Fhailí' (Offaly in Irish) in green, white and gold seats. The ground is owned by Tullamore GAA club but leased to the Offaly County Board for inter-county matches. O'Connor Park was opened in 1934, replacing the earlier Ballyduff Park. The ground is named in honour of Rory O'Connor, the Offaly-born Republican leader executed in 1922. A new stand seating 7,000 was built in 2006, replacing an earlier 1991 structure. The stand's seats are coloured in green, white and gold — Offaly's county colours — spelling out 'Uíbh Fhailí' across the white section. Glenisk, a leading Irish dairy brand based in County Offaly, holds the current naming rights.
