GAA and Diaspora

GAA, or the Gaelic Athletic Association, is an organization that promotes traditional Irish sports such as Gaelic football and hurling. It plays a key role in preserving Irish culture and fostering community identity. The Diaspora refers to people of Irish descent living outside Ireland, often maintaining cultural ties through activities and organizations linked to Ireland. Together, GAA and the Irish Diaspora help sustain Irish heritage worldwide, with the GAA serving as a cultural and sporting foundation for Irish communities abroad, strengthening connections to Ireland’s history and identity.
