Background
History
In 1919, land owned by the Casey family, known as 'Casey’s Field', was made available for junior football matches in the new Dundalk & District League by the League's founder, P.J. Casey. Casey, at the time the Secretary of local junior club Dundalk Town, subsequently joined the management committee of Dundalk G.N.R., before becoming Treasurer of the League of Ireland in 1932. With Casey's assistance, Dundalk F.C. moved to Casey's Field on a long-term lease, where the club has remained to date. The club named their new ground 'Oriel Park' after the medieval Irish kingdom of Airgíalla. Almost 10 years to the day after Dundalk had played their first League of Ireland match away to Fordsons,…
Architecture
Oriel Park has an all-weather pitch, the current pitch having been laid in 2026. There are two covered stands in the ground, one on either side of the pitch. The main stand on the Carrick Road side of the ground contains the dressing rooms, the club bars, offices, and club shop. The 'Shed', on the opposite side, houses the ground's commentary box and principle camera position. The Shed fronts the club's Youth Development Centre (YDC), which was built in 2010. There is uncovered seated terracing on either side of the main stand and standing room behind the eastern goal (the 'Town End'). There is an access road to the YDC behind the western goal (the 'Carrick End').
