Ulster GAA Pitch Marking: A County-by-County Guide

Ulster GAA spans nine counties — Antrim, Armagh, Cavan, Derry, Donegal, Down, Fermanagh, Monaghan, and Tyrone — and clubs across all of them can source pitch marking paint and machines from the same Irish supplier, regardless of which side of the border they're on.

Ulster is unique among the GAA provinces in that it spans both jurisdictions, which means clubs often compare notes with neighbouring counties under different tax and currency systems but identical pitch-marking requirements. The standard doesn't change — a 145m x 88m senior GAA pitch needs the same accuracy in Clones as it does in Ballymena.

For county grounds hosting championship fixtures, durability and colour consistency under match-day pressure matter most — concentrate paints like Elements 4:1 tend to suit higher-frequency marking. For club-level pitches marked less often, a ready-to-use option keeps things simple.

Whichever county you're in, our how-to-mark-a-GAA-pitch guide covers the full dimension and marking process, and our paint range is built to perform across the wetter, cooler conditions typical of the province.
