History of the Gaelic Athletic AssociationThe Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is an amateur sporting organisationfounded by Michael Cusack and Maurice Davin to preserve and cultivate thenational games. When it was founded in 1884, it had Davin as it's firstpresident. Dr. T. W. Croke, (Archbishop of Cashel) became the first patronof the Association, and Croke Park in Dublin (the Association Headquarters)is named in his honour.The Association was nationalist in outlook and members were banned fromplaying non-Gaelic games. The Association also banned members of BritishCrown Forces from membership, and this is a source of great controversy inmodern-day Ireland. Foreign games are also banned from GAA stadiums.The GAA is the largest sporting organisation in Ireland, boasting 2,800clubs comprising of 182,000 footballers and 97,000 hurlers. Membership ofthe GAA exceeds 800,000 at home and abroad ensuring its role as a powerfulnational movement with an important social and cultural influence in Irishlife.

Gaelic football

Gaelic football is played by approximately 250,000 men and women, making itthe most popular sport in Ireland. The first record of Gaelic football is inthe Statutes of Galway (1527) which allowed the playing of football butbanned hurling. The earliest reported match took place at Slane, Co. Meathin 1712 when Meath played their neighbours, Louth.Capacity crowds attend the All-Ireland Football Final at Croke Park everySeptember (the third Sunday of September). The winners of the Senior Finalreceive the Sam Maguire Cup. Since the first All-Ireland Senior footballfinal in 1887, Kerry have been the most successful team, winning 30 times.Only Kerry (twice) and Wexford have won in four successive years. In thepast four years, an Ulster team (Down, Donegal, Derry, Down) has won the SamMaguire Cup, the first time a province has retained the championship formore than two consecutive years.

Hurling

Hurling is the oldest of Irish sports and dates from pre-Christian times. Nostandardised rules existed until the GAA was formed in 1884. It is the thirdmost popular sport in Ireland (soccer is 2nd) and is played by approximately100,000 Irish people. The women's equivalent of hurling is called camogie andis played according to the same basic rules, but with a smaller pitch and smaller sticks. There are 50,000 camogie players in Ireland.Hurling is one of the fastest field games in the world, and is played withan ash stick between 30 and 37 inches in length, with a broad end. The stickis used to hit and carry the sliotar which is a small ball weighingabout 4oz.Since the first Senior Hurling Final in 1887, Cork have won the most timeswith 27 victories.
