The Dublin Gaelic football team is the most supported GAA team in terms of attendance which is made up of 286 clubs (2015 GAA affiliation statistics). The team and its fans are known as "The Dubs" or "The Jacks". The fans have a special affiliation with the Hill 16 end of Croke Park.
Dublin GAA has jurisdiction over the area that is associated with the traditional county of County Dublin. There are 9 officers on the Board including the Cathaoirleach (Chairperson), Seán Shanley.
