McCauley Park Bellefield (Irish: Páirc Nic Amhlaí)[1] is a GAA stadium in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland.[2] It is the main ground of Rapparees Starlights GAA's Gaelic football and hurling teams and has also hosted inter-county fixtures.[3][4]

Bellefield or Bellfield is the name of an area northwest of Enniscorthy; a big house of this name was built in late 18th century by the Lett family. It is a compound of the French bel[le], "pretty" and "field."[5] The park is named for local businessman Sam McCauley who supplied much of the funding.[6]
