Formed in 1969, the longest running football club in NSW with 19 NSW Senior Mens Championship titles.
31/12/2025
And with that, the 2025 season comes to an end 🙏🏼
Go raibh míle maith agaibh to our sponsors this year. Your support is truly appreciated & is a huge help in what keeps Sydneys longest running GAA club going.
From all of us at Young Ireland, we wish our members & wider Irish in Australia community a safe, fun and Happy New Years! 💛💚 Roll on 2026 ⚽️
Ladies & gents - we are so back.
Join us at 3pm this Saturday the 3rd of Jan in Moore Park West where we will commence our first senior & intermediate training session of 2026 🔥 We will enjoy a mixed warm up across both the mens & ladies teams to kickstart the year by catching up & welcoming any fresh faces ⚽️
Going forward our mens & ladies teams will train separately, but both at the same times - that being 7pm on Wednesdays & 3pm on Saturdays (starting from next week, Weds 7th)
Lastly, our women’s social training returns this Saturday too! We’ll be starting as we mean to go on by beginning bright & early at 9am in Grant Reserve ☀️📍⏰
We’re very much looking forward to welcoming everyone back / onboarding any new members. If you are new or have any more questions, please DM us where one of our trainers can help - along with adding you to our WhatsApp groups to stay up to date.
You’ll hear from us again tomorrow with a New Years Eve post to thank our 2025 sponsors, but whilst we’re at it - here’s to playing some great gaelic football in 2026 🟡🟢
