Niamh Martin

Niamh Martin (born 16 November 2000) 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. Martin was recruited to the North Melbourne Football Club for its 2023 AFL Women's (AFLW) team in March 2023. 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. 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. 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".
