The GAA Archive holds the official records of the Gaelic Athletic Association; these are the records which were created, or received, by the GAA during the course of its business. The Archive contains a wide-range of collections which document both the history of the Association and the contribution made by key personalities.  

To view the photographs held by the GAA Archive please visit the online Archive Shop.

The Archive does not hold biographies, information or statistics on individual players, teams or matches. The Archive does not collect or hold newspaper cuttings. Due to copyright law the Archive does not hold film or audio footage of GAA matches.

Collections

The collections held by the GAA Archive are listed below at their appropriate level (National, Provincial, County and Club). Collections relating to individuals are listed according to the relevance of their contents (i.e. the Philip Fanning collection is listed under Australia as the contents of the collection relate predominantly to the GAA in Australia).
