Ottawa Gaels GAA, Gloucester, ON

The Ottawa Gaels GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) club was formed in 1975. Our club aims to promote Men’s, Ladies & Youth Gaelic Football, as well Irish culture in Ottawa and the National Capital Region. The Ottawa Gaels is a community of athletes and supporters that gather to celebrate and play this beautiful Irish sport.

For Irish emigrants, the Ottawa Gaels club offers a home away from home and for Canadians of Irish heritage, the opportunity to connect with the Irish community and culture. But regardless of your heritage – even if you have no connection to Ireland – this is a sport for all athletes looking for a new challenge that lets you easily transfer skills from soccer, volleyball, basketball or other team/field sports.

While the Gaels hold several inter-club games, the Ottawa Gaels face teams from Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto, Brampton, Durham, Etobicoke and Buffalo to compete for the coveted Toronto GAA Cup each year.
