GAA county

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GAA county or a county board of the Gaelic Athletic Association is a geographic region of control within the GAA, based on the counties of Ireland as they were in 1884. While the counties of Ireland have changed since the foundation of the GAAm the GAA counties remain unchanged. Each county board is responsible of organising GAA club fixtures with in the county and the promotion and development of Gaelic Games.

The GAA county can also refer to the inter-county team fielded by each county board. Since the inception of the county system, there have been changes to the region of control of the overseas units. In Ireland the concept of the county is very strong and changing the county boundary is extremely controversal. A proposal to divide Dublin in two was quickly and strongly opposed. [1]
