Description

In 1897 Irish sport integrated into Scotland as the first Gaelic football match was played on Scottish soil. 120 years later Scotland is home to 5 Club teams and 7 University teams. Following a number of years absent from competition, the large Irish community studying at QMU provides a foundation for the re-establishment of a Mens Gaelic football team.

The Mens Gaelic football team provides an opportunity for lads from Ireland, Scotland and the rest of the world to bask in Irish culture. Gaelic football is an incredibly skilful and physical sport. The aim for the squad of 2024/25 is to develop a home away from home as well as following and exceeding the footsteps of last years Mens Gaeilic Football team who are Scottish University Champions 2023/24, and lost out in the British Championships Semi Finals.

Competing against other universities in Scotland and potentially further a field provides an opportunity to keep fit, make friends, socialise and to take a break from the books. Away days to Glasgow, Aberdeen, Stirling and Dundee are on the cards, allowing members to enjoy the rest of Scotland. Training throughout the year will be once or twice a week. Don’t worry, there will be no lack of social activities. We take hydration very seriously, and thanks to our sponsors Malones Leith and the QMU Mens GAA discount card we're never left wanting for some traditional Irish hospitality. 

Although it will help you on a night out, there is no need for county experience. Whether you’re a GAA head, looking to keep active, interested in trying something new or wanting to make friends, the mens Gaelic football team is a good place to make the most of your Uni experience.  You can follow and DM the instagram for more information - @qmu_mensgaa
