GAA Club – Emly

The GAA:

The GAA is a community based volunteer organisation promoting Gaelic games, culture and lifelong participation. The Association’s basic aim is to “strengthen the National Identity” through its primary purpose to promote and control the National games of Hurling, Gaelic Football, Handball and Rounders. Its additional aims are to:

• Actively support the Irish language and Irish culture

• Promote the aims of the GAA abroad through the oversees units – see our World GAA portal

• Support the promotion of Camogie and Ladies Gaelic Football

• Support Irish industry

The GAA Club is the bedrock of every Irish community and provides an organised structure from which great community spirit is generated. Today, almost every town and village in the country has its own GAA headquarters. These clubs are a tremendous influence in their local communities. The GAA is a strong and vibrant Association thanks to the army of dedicated volunteers at Club level committed to the promotion and development of our clubs and our games.
