Gaelic Football in Queensland began in the late 1960’s as a casual
kick-around social game among young Irishmen here on working visas.
In 1975 the Queensland GAA was formed, and soon thereafter, affiliated
with the national body. It wasn’t until the early 1980’s
that saw the growth of Gaelic Games in Queensland, with the introduction
of a 4 team men’s competition. The expansion of this competition
and the introduction of women’s football in 1997 have seen Gaelic
Football flourish in Brisbane, with it becoming a competitive, yet social
sport, popular among Australian born participants. At present, the
QGFA runs a 6 team Men’s and Women’s winter competition
from March to September and a social summer competition during the off-season
months.
All
games are held at Gaelic Park (situated in the Brisbane suburb of Willawong),
which boasts 3 playing fields and a vibrant clubhouse (see below).
All Clubs train
at a variety of locations throughout Brisbane and welcome all old and
new players to join and play Gaelic Football in a competitive and friendly
sprit.
So if you feel you need more out of life, come and join your local Gaelic
Football Club and have a ball.
