The Chicago Gaelic Athletic Association
The heart & soul of Gaelic Park is in its sports!
The relationship between the G.A.A. and Gaelic Park in Chicago
has a long and fruitful history. Gaelic Games were first played
at Gaelic Park in the summer of 1984 when a Senior Men’s Football
Championship match between the St. Brendan’s and the Wolfe Tones
took place. Since then many clubs have come and gone.
The present day G.A.A. in Chicago is strong with three Senior
Men’s Football teams, five Junior Men’s Football teams, two
Ladies Football teams, four Senior Hurling teams, and two Camogie
teams. The thirteen clubs that represent the Chicago G.A.A.
are dispersed between the north and south sides of Chicago and
all claim Gaelic Park as their home pitch.
For more information about the G.A.A. in Chicago please feel

Officer, Lisa Krueger at lkrueger23@hotmail.com
