GAA leagues

GAA leagues, operated by the Gaelic Athletic Association, are organized competitions for Irish sports like Gaelic football, hurling, camogie, and handball. These leagues typically run annually, featuring club and county teams competing across various levels to determine regional, provincial, or national champions. They serve as both preparation and qualifier events for larger tournaments, fostering local and national rivalries. Matches are structured with points awarded for wins and draws, advancing teams through divisions or group stages. Overall, GAA leagues are essential for promoting community engagement, talent development, and the competitive spirit of Ireland’s traditional sports.
