About our latest GAA news
Latest news on GAA, providing comprehensive coverage of Gaelic games, hurling, football, camogie, and All-Ireland Championships from Ireland's premier sports organisation.
The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) stands as Ireland's largest sporting and cultural organisation, boasting over 2,200 clubs nationwide and a global presence across five continents. With more than 500,000 members worldwide, the GAA oversees the national games of hurling, Gaelic football, handball, and rounders, while its sister organisation, the Camogie Association, manages the women's game of camogie.
Recent developments in the GAA include significant reforms to the All-Ireland Football Championship structure, with the introduction of a new league-based format that has transformed the traditional provincial championships. The organisation continues to address challenges such as player welfare, amateur status preservation, and the modernisation of facilities across Ireland, including the ongoing redevelopment of several county grounds and the maintenance of its flagship stadium, Croke Park in Dublin.
The GAA's community impact extends far beyond sports, with clubs serving as vital social hubs in communities across Ireland and abroad. Local GAA clubs organise countless events, from underage training sessions to cultural activities celebrating Irish language and traditions. The organisation's commitment to youth development is evident through its successful Cúl Camps programme, which attracts over 150,000 children annually to participate in Gaelic games during summer holidays.
Founded in 1884 by Michael Cusack and Maurice Davin, the GAA played a crucial role in preserving and promoting Irish cultural identity during British rule. The organisation's history is deeply intertwined with Ireland's struggle for independence, notably the events of Bloody Sunday 1920 at Croke Park. Today, the GAA continues to maintain its amateur ethos while adapting to modern sporting demands, successfully balancing tradition with innovation.
