History of Ladies Gaelic Football

The Ladies Gaelic Football Association was founded in Hayes Hotel, Thurles, in 1974. Four counties, Offaly, Kerry, Tipperary and Galway attended the meeting. However, eight counties, namely Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, Waterford, Galway, Roscommon, Laois and Offaly participated in the first official All Ireland Senior Championship of that year which was won by Tipperary.
The Association has built up steadily in the intervening years and today Ladies Gaelic football is played in all counties. Ladies Gaelic football is played on an organised basis in Britain, Mainland Europe, Australia, Canada and the U.S.A. It is imperative for our Association to maintain and foster our supportive contact with our members abroad. Our Association at home must influence and help ladies football clubs overseas and share the spirit of home with those who are separated physically from their homes and to introduce those who have no connection with Ireland to the enjoyment of our sporting culture and heritage.

The structure of Ladies Gaelic Football

The Association is similar to that of the G.A.A, with Club, County Boards, Provincial Councils, Central Council and Annual Congress. The National President is elected for a three year term of office. The Association was recognised by the G.A.A. in 1982. From its foundation the Association used the Rules in the Official Guide of the G.A.A. in conjunction with its own Rules. At the Central Council meeting of 7th October, 1985, it was decided that the Association would publish its own Official Guide and a Committee comprising of the President, Pat Quill. Vice-President, Peter Rice and Chairman of the Wexford County Board, Kieran Dunne was elected to carry out this task. The Committee forwarded its findings to each affiliated county and the present charter was ratified at a Special Congress on the 8th March, 1986. The Rules were revised by Pat Quill, Chairman of the Development Committee and ratified at a Special Congress on 23rd March 1991.
