The GAA increased its revenues by €1.5million in 2014 according to new figures released today.
The results are contained in the GAA’s 2014 financial report, which was launched at Croke Park on Wednesday.
The report shows that the GAA had revenues of €56m for 2014.
Croke Park’s earnings for the year were €11m, of which €7m went to the GAA's Central Council.
GAA financial officer Tom Ryan welcomed the results and said: "We always strive to get as close as possible to a break even result, so what that means is that we have been able to distribute the lion's share of our income and we've done it again this year.
"Upwards of 86% of the income of the association has been distributed back throughout the country."
Asked whether the debacle over the mooted Garth Brooks concerts had damaged Croke Park, GAA stadium director Peter McKenna said it had damaged Dublin instead.
"I don't think it damaged brand Croke Park but I don't think that Dublin City as a tourist venue came out strong. Garth Brooks was attracting 70,000 tourists from overseas who were going to be here for two or three days," he claimed.
"We've all got to work to ensure that when people buy a ticket they've got a reasonable expectation that something's going to happen and that law still hasn't changed so there's some work to be done."
