The Iveagh Grounds is a multi-purpose sports facility based in Drimnagh/Crumlin, Dublin. It is the home base of several sports clubs and teams who are associated with the Guinness Athletic Union. These include St James's Gate F.C. and St James Gaels GAA.[2] It is named after Edward Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, who purchased the site and then donated it to the union. Other clubs that play at the Iveagh Grounds include a field hockey club[3] and a rugby union club.[4] As well as St James's Gate F.C., two other association football clubs, Bangor Celtic F.C.[5] and St. John Bosco F.C.,[6] also play home games at the Iveagh Grounds. In 2017 Trinity College Dublin purchased the grounds for €2 million.
