Croke Park will be abuzz with activity between All-Ireland club and National League games in January and February next year.

After the All-Ireland club finals on the second and third weekends of January (9/10 and January 17), it will host three National League matchdays, including at least one double-header, before the end of February.

Dublin and Meath are set to share a double bill on January 30. The Royals will entertain Galway and their game is in line to be the undercard of Dublin’s Division 2 clash with Monaghan.

On Saturday, February 20, Robbie Brennan’s side will continue their Croke Park residency when they host All-Ireland SFC champions Mayo.

The following Saturday, Dublin will have their own double-bill as the hurlers face Cork in Division 1A action. Meath are also set to meet Roscommon in GAA HQ on March 13.

Meath GAA have agreed to stage their home games in Croke Park as Páirc Tailteann undergoes reconstruction work. The Navan venue is due to open in the second quarter of 2027.

Large attendances will be expected for Mayo’s four home games in Castlebar – Donegal on January 23, Galway on February 13, Cork on February 28 and Kerry in the final round on March 21.
