St Brigid's GAA Club (Irish: Cumann Naomh Bríd) is based in Castleknock, Fingal, County Dublin, Ireland and serves communities in Castleknock, Clonsilla, Blanchardstown and Corduff. Its main grounds are at Russell Park but it also has grounds at Beech Park (Castleknock) and College Fort (Castleknock).

The club currently supports 70 teams at all age levels from nursery level (four to seven-year-olds) to Adult level in hurling, football, camogie, ladies football, handball and badminton.[citation needed]

St Brigid's GAA won the Dublin Senior Football Championship and the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship in 2003 for the first time in the club's history. The club won their second Dublin Senior Football Championship title in 2011, but lost the year's Leinster Final to Garrycastle by an injury time free goal.[citation needed]

St Brigid's senior hurlers are yet to win the Senior A Hurling title. They have been close but ended up losing the 2003 final to Craobh Chiarán and the 2019 final to Cuala. The team has lost in the semi-finals in 2011 and 2013. St Brigid's senior hurlers did, however, win the Senior B Title and AHL 2 League title in 2010 and again in 2014.[citation needed]

The club has a rivalry with Castleknock and Oliver Plunketts/Eoghan Ruadh.[1]

Eoin Kennedy, the Dual All Ireland Handball Senior Singles Champion, is a club member.[2]
