- List of non-Gaelic games played in Croke Park
The following is a list of non-Gaelic games played and scheduled to be played at Croke Park (formerly "Jones's Road"). The Gaelic Athletic Association prohibits the playing of "foreign sports" at GAA-owned stadiums under Rule 42 of its rule book.In practice the rule has only been applied to the sports of soccer and rugby, which were perceived to be rivals to the playing of Gaelic games.

The rule was officially relaxed in 2005 for the duration of the reconstruction of Lansdowne Road, to allow for the playing of Irish soccer and rugby internationals.
