Nemeton TV have secured a three year contract with Croke Park to operate and create content for the big screens during match days.
The Waterford Based company is already responsible for much of the GAA content produced by TG4 and this new contract will place them in the forefront of production houses visible to and working with Ireland’s major sporting sponsors.
Nemeton won the Sports Business of the Year Award at last years Sport Industry Award, partly because of the expansion of their services from broadcasting 400 hours of live sport on an annual basis to a new future including online and live event services.

Supplying the screen entertainment which will be highlighting the games, the experience and the main sponsors including AIB, Littlewoods, eir, Bord Gais Energy, Supervalu, Centra and Allianz for the next three years is a big win and further cements their reputation as one of the leading providers of sports content in the country.
“We are hugely excited to become such an integral part of the match-day experience, in a venue that is very close to our hearts,” said senior Nemeton Producer Fintan Walsh.
“Even after all this time, we still get excited pulling up to Croke Park on a match day. Our crews are already there for many big days, sending footage all over the world. Now we will have a creative input into the experience for the 82,000 spectators in the stadium as well.”
“We’ll be creating everything from graphics, interviews, action and of course the scoreboard on the biggest sporting days in the Irish calendar.”
“Take All-Ireland Club Final Day on St. Patrick’s Day as an example. We will have two crews in operation – one covering the games for television and online on TG4, and a second delivering an entertaining and exciting package for the supporters in the stadium.”
“It is a natural fit for us. Being right in the middle of the action on what are often historic days for club, county or country is where we want to be.”
“Fan engagement on match days is very important to us in Croke Park as we pride ourselves on delivering memorable events for supporters both on and off the pitch,” added Alan Gallagher, Head of Stadium Operations at Croke Park.
“We are always looking for dynamic new ways to engage with GAA fans once they are inside the stadium and we’re investing heavily in our stadium technology and digital infrastructure to help further develop fan engagement on event days.”
We’d like to welcome Nemeton who are no strangers to Croke Park formally on board the Croke Park event day team and we look forward to working with them to deliver really creative, engaging content for our supporters before, during and after every match.”
