St Brigid's GAA Club (Irish: Cumann Naomh Bríd) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Castleknock, Fingal, Ireland which serves Castleknock, Clonsilla, Blanchardstown and Corduff. Its grounds are at Russell Park. The club supports over 80 teams, from nursery level (four- to seven-year-olds) to adults, in hurling, football, camogie, women's football, handball and badminton.
In 2003, St Brigid's won a first Dublin Senior Football Championship (SFC) and Leinster Club SFC. The club won its second Dublin SFC title in 2011, but lost the year's Leinster Club SFC final to Garrycastle in an injury-time free goal.
St Brigid's senior hurlers lost the 2003 Senior A Hurling final to Craobh Chiarán and the 2019 final to Cuala. The team lost in the semi-finals in 2011 and 2013. St Brigid's senior hurlers won the Senior B and AHL 2 League titles in 2010 and 2014. The club has rivalries with the Castleknock GAA and Oliver Plunketts/Eoghan Ruadh GAA clubs.[1] Dual All Ireland Handball Senior Singles champion Eoin Kennedy is a club member.[2]
In 2007, Justin McNulty was manager. In 2013, Tony McEntee was appointed as manager of the St Brigid's senior football team, succeeding Gerry McEntee and Mark Byrne.[3]
