Sponsorship Opportunities

The GAA is Ireland’s largest Sporting, Cultural and Community Organisation, with over one million members and over 2,750 Clubs throughout the world.

Within Ulster we have some 580 Clubs and Units, we are present in over 600 schools and have around 250,000 active volunteer members. As the governing body for the GAA in the Province, Ulster GAA works in partnership with the nine GAA County Committees as well as the Ulster Councils for Ladies Gaelic Football, Camogie, Handball and Rounders. We do that to promote, enhance, develop and strengthen Gaelic games and associated activities at grassroots level.

Ulster GAA is twinned with GAA units in Britain and Canada. An investment in Ulster GAA is a good investment for your business and your brand, we work closely with corporate sponsors and partners to deliver on our joint goals.
