About Gaelic Games

Gaelic Games are the ancient Irish sports of Gaelic Football, Hurling, & Camogie. History states that the Gaelic Athletic Association, or the GAA, was officially founded in a hotel in County Tipperary in 1884. However, these games were played well before this date and there is reference made to these games in Irish Folklore. Teams were, and are still today, organized by locality. This meant that competition was for love of town and village and was thus very fierce. Time has not dulled this competitive spirit as today’s games are as fiercely contested. It is no wonder that Gaelic Games are Ireland’s national pastime. In the US, Gaelic Games are played in many cities under the guidance of the North American County Board.
