Páirc Mac Uílín is a Gaelic Athletic Association playing field in Ballycastle, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is the home of the McQuillan GAC Ballycastle club, one of the most successful teams in the county, and is one of the main grounds of Antrim's hurling teams. The grounds have two full size pitches, floodlight facilities, a training area, a Hurling wall as well as multi-purpose clubrooms. The club also has a wind turbine installed on site.
It officially opened in 2007, the centenary year of McQuillan GAC Ballycastle, with GAA President Nickey Brennan, newly installed Ulster President Tom Daly and Antrim chairman Dr John McSparron in attendance. The first match was a friendly between the home side and Kilkenny club James Stephens. In December 2012 Páirc MacUílín received the Antrim and Ulster GAA Ground of the Year awards.
Páirc Mac Uílín has also hosted the Antrim Senior Hurlers in recent years due to the ongoing redevelopment of Casement Park. It was also selected as the location for the Antrim Senior Hurling Championship finals in 2013 and 2014.
Matches from three different senior inter county competitions have been held at the venue including the Allianz National Hurling League, Leinster Senior Hurling Championship and the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.
