Promoting and Developing Gaelic Games   

Cultúr / Culture 

The Gaelic Athletic Association Rule 4 states as a clear objective the following:

"The Association shall actively support the Irish language, traditional Irish dancing, music, song and other aspects of Irish culture."

With the birth of Scór in 1969 the Gaelic Athletic Association through its clubs has become actively involved in promoting Irish culture in a meaningful and enjoyable manner. Language and culture are amongst the most important elements of Irish heritage. The Gaelic Athletic Association, through it's many clubs throughout the country and through Scór nÓg and Scór Sinsear, has played a significant part in the revival of our culture and heritage in creating an understanding and interest in its importance.

Scór competitions commence in each county with clubs competing to represent their county in one of the many different Scór events. County winners go through to the Provincial Finals with the winners at that stage qualifying for the All-Ireland Finals.

Scór is divided in two sections. Scór na nÓg caters for the younger G.A.A. members while Scór Sinsear caters for adults members.

The national finals of both Scór na nÓg and Scór Sinsear are a wonderful occasion and winning a national title is a tremendous honour for any club.
