A player wants to transfer to a Club in another Province or transfer Overseas. Can he apply online? a. Yes. All Inter-County Transfers may be applied for online in 2015. A player should contact the Secretary of the Club he wishes to join and ask him/her to start the process as per the instructions on the Official GAA website (www.gaa.ie/clubzone/transfers-and-sanctions/). 2. A player wants to transfer between two Clubs in the same County. Can he apply online? a. No; not at present. Pending the success of the Online Inter-County Transfer System, it is envisaged that all players will be able to apply online for transfers within Counties in 2017. 3. A player wants to transfer between two Clubs in the same Province. Can he apply online? a. No; not at present. Pending the success of the Online Inter-County Transfer System, it is envisaged that all players will be able to apply online for transfers within Provinces in 2016. 4. A player wants to apply for a Sanction / Permit / Authorisation. Can he apply online? a. No; not at present. The second phase of the project which is to move all sanctions, permits and authorisations online will commence in 2015 and be available in 2016 pending the success of the Online Inter-County Transfer System. 5. Will be online system be available for Ladies Football and Camogie? a. No. The Ladies Gaelic Football and Camogie Association have their own transfer systems. 6. Once a transfer is granted by Central Council; how does a player apply for registration? a. There is no change to the current registration process therefore a player does not become automatically registered once his transfer has been granted. The following actions must occur in respect of registration: i. Both County Committees will be notified via e-mail once a decision is made on an application. ii. All parties have three days to Appeal the decision (R. 6.6 (j) T.O. 2014) iii. Only on the expiry of these three days, may a player be registered. iv. All players must be registered at least three days before a game (R. 2.3 T.O. 2014). Page 1 of 6 GAA Páirc an Chrócaigh Baile Átha Cliath 3 Guthán +353 1 865 8685 Faics +353 1 865 8600 v. This means that a player cannot play for, at the earliest, six days after the decision has been made on an application by Central Council. b. A Club Secretary should ensure that the Club Registrar registers a player on the GAA Management System in accordance with the Rules of the Association (R. 2.3 and R. 6.6 T.O. 2014). 7. Why does registration not automatically occur after transferring? a. The online transfer system was designed to move the current process online with minimal changes to the current processes pertaining to transferring and registering. b. The membership system is only used by Clubs in Ireland, Britain and Europe. c. The majority of Inter-County transfers involve Clubs in North America, New York and Australasia; all of these are Units that do not use the current membership system. d. Furthermore, Riail 2.3 T.O. 2014 makes it clear that the Club Registrar must register players. It is generally not the function of the Club Secretary. 8. When can I play after my transfer is granted? a. At the earliest, a player cannot play for six days after a transfer is granted in Croke Park. Once both County Committees are notified of a decision on a transfer application by Central Council, there is a three day period for an Appeal. This period must expire and cannot be expedited. On the expiry of these three days, a player can be registered by his Club and the transfer becomes effective. All players must be registered three days before a game. It is important to note that an applicant for a Transfer cannot apply for registration until after the time for an appeal against such transfer has elapsed or any such appeal has been determined (R. 6.6 (j), T.O. 2014). 9. Is it mandatory to use the new Online Transfer System? a. No. Not in 2015 as the online system is being operated on a pilot basis. Pending the success of the pilot, it will be made mandatory from 2016 onwards. Use of the online system is strongly encouraged due to the benefits for players and Counties. 10. What are the benefits of applying for a Sanction online? a. Quicker processing of applications. b. Less chance of incorrect information being submitted. c. Ability to check status of applications. d. Only designated administrators can approve transfers. e. Easy access to transfer history. f. Identification of trends. g. Less labour intensive process. Player Questions 11.

How do I know what stage my transfer application is at? a. Your Club Secretary can log in to the Online Transfer System at any stage to see which Unit has yet to approve the application. 15. What happens if my Club does not respond to my online transfer application? a. If there is no Objection to the application within 10 days of the forwarding of the application from Central Council, the transfer will be deemed to be granted and both County Committees will be notified of the decision via e-mail. 16. I know that the Club I want to leave doesn’t use the online system, can I still apply online? a. Yes. As long as the Club you wish to join is willing to apply online, your application will still be processed.

  • AIB Launches the Toughest Season - a Year Like No Other in Gaelic Games
    30 November 2020 AIB launches The Toughest Season - A Year like no other in Gaelic Games Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to AIB’s partner charities, Age NI, Alone, FoodCloud, Soar & Pieta AIB, alongside Galway & Corofin footballer Ian Burke and former Dublin & Ballinteer St Johns footballer Coman Goggins, has launched The Toughest Season photobook, a pictorial account of how hurling, football and camogie communities came together to support one another throughout one of the toughest years in history. Inspired by the strength of spirit within Gaelic Games communities, AIB has partnered with Sportsfile, the GAA and the Camogie Association, to publish The Toughest Season, which captures in 120 images the resilience of clubs, fans, and communities before, during and after the COVID 19 lockdown. All proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to the AIB Together Fund supporting Age NI, Alone, FoodCloud, Soar and Pieta House. 2020 saw club gates close and games cease yet club chairpersons, players and volunteers were never busier. The tougher the year was, the stronger we became. In the first few weeks of the first lockdown, 9,000 GAA club members provided support for almost 35,000 people. It is this spirit that AIB has been proud to champion through three decades of sponsoring the AIB GAA Club Championships across football, hurling and camogie. Earlier this Autumn, AIB called on those across the country to take part by submitting their own images that depict their experience of ‘The Toughest Season’. Along with Sportsfile imagery, the book is comprised of photographs from individuals across Ireland who have visually shared their own stories.

The Games 8 2. Growth and Participation 10 3. Governance and Administration 12 4. Communications and PR 14 1 Foreword Gaelic games in Europe have grown rapidly since four clubs came together in Amsterdam in 1999 to establish the European County Board of the GAA. So, as we enter our 20th year, it is entirely appropriate that we celebrate the fact that over 90 clubs from more than 20 countries now cater for thousands of youths and adults who play gaelic football, camogie, hurling, handball and rounders across the continent. Any organisation that wishes to remain vibrant and successful needs to review, reflect and renew itself on an ongoing basis to ensure that it remains relevant to its members. While good progress was made in implementing our 2016-2018 Strategic Plan, we must also acknowledge that there was room for improvement. New issues have also emerged and more will do so in the coming years. That is why my priority on being elected GGE chair was to put in place a process to identify what we do well, what we can do better and create a plan to address future challenges.

    One Club Guidelines June 2017 Index Index 1. Introduction 2. Summary 3. Structure and Governance 4. Coaching and Games Development 5. Finance and Fundraising 6. Our Games Our Code 7. Miscellaneous 3 Introduction Introduction One Gaelic Games Family The GAA, Ladies Gaelic Football Association and the Camogie Association each have their own membership, governance and traditions. The associations work in a co-operative fashion to promote the playing of Gaelic games. Notwithstanding their separate formal identities, the defacto integration of GAA, Ladies Gaelic Football and Camogie is happening on a widespread basis around the country. Each of the associations recognises the benefits of a One Club approach in promoting the playing of Gaelic games at both juvenile and adult level. Adopting a One Club approach facilitates catering for the whole family in an integrated fashion. A One Club approach is already working successfully on the ground in many clubs throughout Ireland and, pending any formal integration in the future, the associations are committed to encouraging and supporting the model whereby clubs cater for all family members, both male and female. Guidelines The associations regularly field questions from clubs on the practicalities of how to bring existing GAA and Ladies Football/Camogie clubs together. The three associations have reviewed how existing One Clubs operate and, based on this feedback, have set out in this document Guidelines for the effective operation of a One Club structure. The Guidelines seek to provide clubs with a broad framework in which to operate and do not seek to be all encompassing. The Guidelines are not mandatory.

    John West Féile 2021 Féile 2021 In 2021 we celebrate 50 years of Féile. To mark this Anniversary and to address the challenges of COVID 19 two National Féile events will be held this year. 21st August 2021 John West Féile na nGael (Hurling & Camogie) 28th August 2021 John West Féile Peil na nÓg (Football & Ladies Football) John West Féile 2021 In 2021 each county is requested to run a County Féile competition with the finals taking place on 21st and 28th August 2021 as set out below.

With this in mind each county is asked to organise their tournaments with a sufficient number of divisions graded accordingly to allow the tournaments to be run off ideally as a one-day event. While each county will be responsible for the running of its own Féile tournament the following guidelines are the specific playing rules of the John West Féile na nGael and Féile na nÓg tournaments and are recommended for use. The COVID 19 guidelines for the organisation of blitz competitions are also attached. Féile Charter John West Féile Charter 2021 The John West Féile na nGael and Féile Peile na nÓg tournaments are All-Ireland Club festivals for Hurling, Football, Camogie, at Under 15 age level. Coiste Stiúrtha Náisiúnta Féile, appointed by Uachtarán CLG, shall have the overall responsibility for Féile.
