We are raising funds to send two representative non-Irish born teams from Australasia Gaelic Games to Ireland in July 2026 to compete in the GAA World Games in Derry. This is an incredible opportunity for players from Australia and New Zealand to represent our region on the world stage, celebrate our Irish heritage, and showcase the passion, commitment, and community spirit that defines Gaelic Games across Australasia.

We care deeply about this because these athletes are volunteers who dedicate countless hours to training, coaching, refereeing, and building our clubs. For many, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to wear the Australasia jersey, connect with their cultural roots, and compete against teams from around the globe. Supporting them means investing not only in sport, but in identity, wellbeing, community, and pride.

To make this happen, we are coordinating a structured fundraising campaign across all our states and regions, seeking support from families, clubs, businesses, and the wider Irish-Australian and New Zealand communities. Funds raised will contribute directly to essential costs such as travel, accommodation, training camps, equipment, and team services to ensure our athletes can compete safely, proudly, and at their best.

Australasia Gaelic Games is the recognised governing body for Gaelic Games in Australia and New Zealand, made up of volunteers who work year-round to develop opportunities for players of all ages. With your support, we can give our teams the chance to represent our region with pride and showcase the strength of our Gaelic Games community at the World Games.
