O'Moore Park (Irish:Páirc Uí Mhórdha) is aGAA stadium inPortlaoise,County Laois,Ireland. It is the home of theLaoisGaelic football andhurling teams. Under a new sponsorship deal it is known as "Laois Hire O'Moore Park".[2]
Although it may have been in use as a GAA ground since 1888, and was acquired byMaryborough GAA Club in 1908, it was not purchased as the county grounds until 1917, becoming then one of the first grounds acquired by a county board (just six years after the purchase ofCroke Park).[3]
The spectator capacity is about 22,000, of which 6,500 can be seated.[1] Its pitch is one of Ireland's best under weather. It is the venue for many club and county matches, particularly since the installation of floodlights. It is frequently used as a neutral stadium for inter-county matches not involving Laois. The ground is located 0.5 km fromPortlaoise town centre on the N80 road (Abbeyleix road).
In the stand, white seats against a background of blue seats are used to spell out "Laois Laois".
