We have our own GAA club here in Camden Square.

Éire Óg is a community-centred, progressive and ambitious G.A.A. club which was formed to provide a home for Gaelic games and related activities in north central London. Find out more at www.eireoglondon.org.

We are based at the London Irish Centre and train in Finsbury Park.  Our club has members from all walks of life and all backgrounds, from every province in Ireland and from the large Irish community in London.

The GAA’s values are the heart and soul of our club.  We are dedicated to ensuring our Gaelic games, and the values we live, enrich the lives of our members, families and the communities we serve.  We reach out to and include all members of our society. We promote individual development and well-being and strive to enable all of our members to achieve their full potential in their chosen roles.

Our vision is that everybody has the opportunity to be welcomed to take part in our club, to participate fully, to grow and develop and to be inspired to keep a lifelong engagement with our club and with the Gaelic Athletic Association.

We are a volunteer organisation promoting Gaelic games and Irish culture, and are always keen to hear from new players and supporters who wish to get involved in the club.  We are a volunteer led organisation, and all our members play and engage in our games as amateurs.

Join us for training in Finsbury Park every Sunday at 12:30. Mid-week training starting soon. Call Luke on 07886355626 if you’re lost or late.

For ladies interested in getting involved in the GAA scene there is another team of women only who also train in Finsbury park – Holloway Gaels.

They are a well organised and professionally managed club in our 19th year, with their first London Junior Championship title in 1998; the club has since won Junior titles again in 2000, 2004 and consecutive titles in 2007 and 2008. In 2009, they progressed to play in the senior ranks for the first time in Holloway history.

The majority of their players are Irish. However their membership boasts a wide range of ethnic and sporting backgrounds and everyone is always made to feel welcome.

They are a progressive and very sociable club aiming to promote both gaelic football and women’s sport in London. They would love to hear from anyone interested in playing ladies’ gaelic football. No experience necessary, just a good attitude and an interest in sport. A great way to make friends.
