History

Gaelic games were introduced to the parish of Kilbarrack-Foxfield through the Scoil Lorcáin school, which had successes in Cumann na mBunscol competitions in 1972, 1973, and 1974.[citation needed]

Following the interest created by these titles, it was decided to form a local GAA club.[citation needed] At a meeting attended by eight people in Scoil Lorcain on 5 September 1974, Naomh Barróg GAA club was formed.[citation needed] The club was named after the 6th-century founder of a church in Kilbarrack, the remains of which still survive in Kilbarrack graveyard.

In the club's first year, four teams were entered in North Dublin GAA competitions. The club fields football teams at all levels from U9 to Senior, hurling from U9 to Junior, and Ladies football from U10 to Junior.[citation needed]

The club has won two national Féile na nGael titles and has won a title at every football level from U10 to Intermediate.[citation needed]

The club's main ground, Pairc Barróg, was acquired in 1982. It was developed and officially opened in September 1984. During its history, Naomh Barróg has expanded to include membership from the neighboring areas of Bayside, Baldoyle, Sutton Park, Donaghmede and Grange-Woodbine. Naomh Barróg's opened a new clubhouse in July 2001.[citation needed]

Naomh Barróg currently[when?] have Senior Hurling status and play in Dublin Senior Hurling League Division 1. Naomh Barróg footballers currently[when?] have Intermediate status and compete in AFL Division 2.[citation needed]
