GAA

The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) organises Ireland's native sports, principally Gaelic football and hurling, built around county and club competition rather than professional franchises. Players represent their native counties as amateurs, with All-Ireland Championships in both codes standing as the pinnacle of the season. Rooted in local parish and community identity, GAA matches draw passionate followings nationwide, making the Association a central pillar of Irish sporting and cultural life.
