St Vincents GAA


St Vincents is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Marino, on the northside of Dublin, Ireland. The club was founded in 1931. Although the club's grounds were in Raheny for a number of years, it moved to its home back into Marino in 1987. St Vincents merged with Marino Camogie Club in 1997 to form the St. Vincents Hurling, Football and Camogie Club. St Vincents have won the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship on three occasions, most recently in 2014. They are the most successful side in the Dublin Senior Football championship having won the title 29 times. The club has also won 17 Dublin Senior 1 camogie titles.

Grounds

As well as using their own pitches at their clubhouse and Páirc Naomh Uinsionn, the club uses nearby pitches at Ardscoil Ris, the pitch at Marino Institute of Education adjacent to the club, in Fairview Park, and also in St Anne's Park. In 2019, a 4G all-weather GAA pitch was installed.
The club grounds in Marino were developed largely on what was part of the walled garden of Lord Charlemont's estate, which had become Christian Brothers' St. Mary's Teacher training college grounds and the O'Brien Institute. Part of the walls of the garden can still be seen to the south and east borders of the club grounds. A logo of Marino Casino and part of the Charlemont family motto, the full motto is Deo Duce, Ferro Comitante, are embossed on the club's crest.
