The great and the good ascended on Croke Park on Sunday afternoon to witness history.

For the first time ever, the GAA opened its doors to host an NFL regular season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings.

Tickets for the event were in hot demand, but a few familiar faces managed to source a seat amongst the sellout crowd.

Here are the best of the images from a memorable day out at Croker.
