|Naomh Barróg are a Dublin based
Gaelic Athletic Association club.Gaelic games were introduced to the parish of Kilbarrack –Foxfield through the Scoil Lorcain school, which enjoyed success in Cumann na mBunscoil competitions in 1972, 1973, and 1974.Following the interest and enthusiasm created by these achievements it was decided to form a local GAA club. At a meeting attended by 8 people in Scoil Lorcain on 5th September 1974, Naomh Barróg GAA club was formed.

The club ground, Pairc Barróg, was acquired in 1982, developed, and officially opened in September 1984. During its history, Naomh Barróg has expanded to now include membership from not only Kilbarrack-Foxfield, but, the neighboring areas of Bayside, Baldoyle, Sutton Park, Donaghmede and Grange-Woodbine. With full and social membership now totaling over 1000 Naomh Barrógs’ new clubhouse was opened on 14th July 2001.
