While the Cork County Board accounts show a €1.5m surplus for the 2025 financial year, less than €300,000 was shaved off their almost €31m debt bill in the same period.

The 2025 Cork GAA accounts across county board and stadium show the debt picture improved only marginally over the past 12 months, with total debt falling from €31.157m in 2024 to €30.868m at the end of 2025.
