St Annes is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Bohernabreena, Tallaght in County Dublin.
St Annes gained their current senior status in 1985, and therefore play in the Dublin Senior Football Championship. They are yet to win a Dublin senior championship, although they came close in 1987 when they were beaten in the final by Parnells. In 2006 Saint Annes beat Otooles Gaa club in the Division 2 promotion final to regain their senior status after a two year absence. The game itself was a great spectacle with Annes 7 points down and 10 minutes to go, a late goal by Alan 'Nipper' McNally sealed the win and celebrations from the Annes faithfull.
