Northern Switchgear Antrim Senior Football Championship Semi-Finals 2026
At Corrigan Park · Whiterock Road, Belfast, Co. Antrim
At Corrigan Park · Whiterock Road, Belfast, Co. Antrim
The last four clubs standing in the Northern Switchgear Antrim Senior Football Championship meet at Corrigan Park to contest the semi-finals and settle who earns a place in the county final. Club championship football in Antrim is hard-fought and deeply local - the kind of game where the crowd knows every player by name and the touchlines are packed with families. If you follow Gaelic football and you want to see it at its most tribal, county semi-finals like these deliver.
The Antrim Senior Football Championship is one of the older and more competitive county championships in Ulster. Recent years have seen genuine competition for the title - Erin’s Own won three in a row from 2022 to 2024 before Dunloy claimed their seventh title in 2025. The format for 2026 has four groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing to quarter-finals and then semi-finals. By the time September arrives, the competition has already cut through the field and the clubs still standing have earned their place.
Corrigan Park on the Whiterock Road opened in 1926 and is one of the oldest active GAA grounds in Belfast. Named after John Corrigan, Antrim County Board secretary during a celebrated hurling era, it was the primary Belfast GAA venue until Casement Park opened in 1953. Recent redevelopment work, completed in 2021, brought capacity up to around 3,700 with a new 600-seat stand. The ground has a compact, atmospheric feel - the kind of venue where you feel close to the pitch.
Tickets are sold through clubs and via the Antrim GAA streaming and ticketing platform at inplayer.com/antrimgaa.
Corrigan Park sits on the Whiterock Road in west Belfast. By public transport, Metro bus services run from Belfast city centre out towards the Falls Road area, which is a short walk from the ground. The Whiterock Road itself has limited street parking on match days, so arriving early or using city centre car parks and walking or taking a bus is the more straightforward approach. Belfast city centre is roughly three kilometres from the ground.
From Dublin, the M1 motorway brings you to Belfast in around two hours. Belfast Europa Bus Centre and Belfast Great Victoria Street rail station are well served from most of Ireland.
Belfast is a city that rewards a longer visit - the Cathedral Quarter, the Titanic Quarter, and the Black Mountain trail are all close by. There is more to see in Belfast and across Co. Antrim.
