David Coldrick

David Coldrick is a Gaelic football referee from County Meath, Ireland, who was born in 1976 and belongs to the Blackhall Gaels club. He began refereeing in 1994 and rose to the inter-county list, where he refereed four finals of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, including the 2007 final between Cork and Kerry, the 2010 final between Cork and Down, the 2015 final between Dublin and Kerry and the 2020 final between Dublin and Mayo. He also officiated in the 2005 and 2006 International Rules Series. Commentators described him as one of the least excitable referees on the inter-county scene, although his handling of a 2022 quarter-final between Armagh and Galway drew sharp criticism. Outside refereeing he has worked at Irish Life in its actuarial reporting team, and 2026 was his last year on the inter-county list because he reached the age of fifty.
