Visiting
Football at CHC Park
Ratoath Harps FC gives local players a route through youth football, with CHC Park at the heart of club football.
The beginnings
From Ratoath to Ratoath Harps
Ratoath Harps joined the Athletic Union League in 1968, first playing as Ratoath. The Harps name was added in 1970, beginning a long football story tied to the town.
The club later moved through the Leinster Junior League, North County Dublin League, Leinster Senior League and Meath and District League as its football community changed.
A new century
Senior football and a growing town
Ratoath Harps returned to the Leinster Senior League in 2001 as the town welcomed new families. In the years that followed, the first team won Major 1 and reached a Polikoff Cup final.
That senior story sits alongside the club’s wider youth and women’s football, giving players different ways to stay involved in the game.
Youth football
A Meath home in the DDSL
Ratoath Harps now takes its youth teams into DDSL competitions from CHC Park. The 2026–2027 connected records include boys’ sides from U8 through U15 and U18 girls’ teams, with the live team list holding the detail for each age group.
Because teams, grades and match arrangements change, families should use the live Teams, Fixtures, Results and Standings tabs for the season information attached to each side.
Club identity
Blue and white, with yellow away
Blue and white stripes are the club’s home colours, with yellow listed for away football. The Harps crest brings together the horse, harp, football, founding year and the Irish motto “Láidir le chéile”.
Kit details and suppliers can change, so players and parents should follow the latest club notice when ordering or replacing equipment.
Community connection
News, events and team updates
The club website, Facebook page and club app keep members connected with news and events. The app also lets members follow a chosen team in one place.
Training nights, trials and registration windows should be checked through a current club notice before a family plans a visit.
