The Gaelic Athletic Association / Cumann Lúthchleas Gael is an Irish sporting and cultural organisation that has a presence on all five continents. It is a volunteer led, community based organisation that administers Gaelic games (Irish indigenous sports) of hurling and Gaelic football and promotes Irish language and culture worldwide along with related Gaelic games of ladies football, camogie, handball and rounders. The Association has its headquarters at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, where it has been based on a full time basis since 1908. The stadium, which was redeveloped between 1993 and 2003, has a capacity of 82,300 and hosts some of the highest profile events in the Irish sporting calendar. The GAA is underpinned by a democratic elective structure that sees members at various different levels elect officers to serving positions on a variety of tiers up to and including the position of Uachtarán (President). The GAA’s internal management structure is multi-layered with the vast majority of all serving officers beginning their administrative involvement at club level. All administrators, regardless of rank or their level of involvement, are members of one of the Association’s 2,300 plus clubs spread across 60+ countries.
