This dissertation examines Gaelic Park Sports Center in the north Bronx, home to the New York Gaelic Athletic Association (NYGAA), a community-based, nonprofit organization that runs annual seasons of Irish sports: Gaelic football (sort of a cross between rugby and soccer played by men and women), hurling (sort of a cross between lacrosse and field hockey played by men), and camogie (almost identical to hurling, but played by women). Since it opened in 1928, the Park has hosted various cultural non-athletic performances such as concerts, feisanna (Irish dance competitions), ceilis (social gatherings with music and dance), weddings, political rallies, fundraisers, and benefits. The Park consists of a stadium, bleachers, dressing rooms, a banquet room, bar, and ticket booth. The community that gathers at Gaelic Park for events overwhelmingly comes from the population of Irish immigrants who have settled in the New York area since the mid-20th century. These immigrants correspond to three recent waves of Irish immigration to New York: the 1950s, the 1980s, and the late 1990s-present. The community that gathers at Gaelic Park is unique in that, unlike an event such as the New York St. Patrick's Day parade where the "Irish" community performs primarily for an "American" crowd, the performers and spectators at Gaelic Park are overwhelmingly Irish. Other spectators include the descendants of these and previous immigrants, as well as visiting Irish and New Yorkers interested in particular events. This project gives specific attention to how the performances of sport and culture occurring in and around the athletic stadium relate to Irish immigrants to New York with consideration of the various waves of these migrations. I argue that as a site of performance, Gaelic Park allows this varied population of "Irish New Yorkers" to articulate a resilient and resistant version of "Irishness.".
