Since its foundation in 1884 as part of the Gaelic Revival, the Gaelic Athletic Association has been a positive and enriching force in Irish society.

The GAA has developed character and athleticism and has fostered teamwork and camaraderie and instilled a sense of pride in Irish culture and identity.
