Niamh Martin (born 25 June 2001) [1] is a Gaelic football and Australian rules football player. Martin was a member of the Tipperary team that won the 2019 All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship. [2] Martin was recruited to the North Melbourne Football Club for its 2023 AFL Women's (AFLW) team in March 2023. [3] She, along with Aishling Moloney and Anna Rose Kennedy, was one of three Tipperary players recruited to play AFLW in 2023; at the time, it was estimated that the number of Irish AFLW players in that year could reach 30. [4] In the 26 November 2023 match between North Melbourne and Adelaide Football Club Martin sustained an eye injury, but it was assessed as not a concussion, and she was allowed to play in the 2023 AFL Women's Grand Final. [5] In an assessment of player performance in the 2023 AFL Women's Grand Final published in Melbourne newspaper The Age , Martin was described "another player who will be better for the grand final experience".
