The GAA’s annual financial report for 2024 revealed that in this “healthy financial year” they had a surplus of €6.3 million. Their takings were €132.9 million and expenditure was €126.6 million. Croke Park generated revenues of €46 million from matches and concerts and hire. Total gate receipts were €39.1 million.
That’s a tidy revenue you might say, all on the back of players who get no compensation for generating it.
