Just a week after naming Mark Doran as their new senior football manager, Antrim GAA have made another key appointment with Ciarán Kearney becoming Operations Manager.

The Cushendall native, who lives in Clonduff, Co. Down, will take up his new role next month. He is currently employed by Croke Park and holds a position with the GAA’s National Coaching and Games Development team.

"Antrim GAA and the GAA are pleased to confirm Ciarán Kearney as the County’s new Operations Manager," a county board statement read.

"The Ruairí Óg native will take up the new role on 15 September 2025. He has significant experience in project management, strategy and games development and currently holds a position with the GAA’s National Coaching and Games Development team.

"His role will include the oversight of the general organisation and promotion of the Gaelic games codes in the county, including financial management, commercial and games development and stakeholder engagement."

Antrim chairperson Séamus McMullan said: “We are delighted to welcome Ciarán to the role and wish him every success. His experience will be an asset as we continue to build on the strong foundations already in place across our county.

"This is a significant appointment as we aim to develop the structures and support available to our clubs, players and communities, in line with our strategic plan.”
