Gaelic football has been played in North America ever since Irish immigrants brought this important piece of their cultural heritage with them. The first historical recording of the sport can be found as early as the 14th century. Gaelic football as it is played today dates back to the late 1800s. It combines suspense, skills and speed in an action-packed sport.

The National Collegiate Gaelic Athletic Association was established in 2009 by college students to assist in the development of new hurling and Gaelic football teams on college campuses throughout North America. (www.ncgaa.org)
