I've added all the ones I know of, which I think is all of them except Louth's ground, and The name of Wicklow's in Aughrim.

Wikipedia has them as 'Aughrim Park' and 'Drogheda Park' respectively for Wicklow and Louth, but I think that's wrong, and Leitrim's should be as gaelige rather than my English version (Pairc Sean McDiarmiada)

Strictly speaking we don't have a county grounds, or not a decent one anyway  >:(

Donegal      - McCool Park


Its MacCumhaill Park. I've never heard the English version used, especially as the local club is Sean MacCumhaills.
