Welcome to the Tasmanian Gaelic Football and Hurling Association.
Gerard Ivory, captain of the Tasmanian men's team, the Pademelons, in action at the Australasian Regional Championships, November 2017.
Established in 2007, we promote and administer Gaelic sports on the beautiful island of Tasmania, Australia. We are an incorporated non-profit association run by volunteers.

Our aim is to provide a safe and enjoyable playing environment for players of varying ages and abilities to participate in Gaelic sports.

We are affiliated with the Gaelic Football and Hurling Association of Australasia and, in turn, part of the worldwide Gaelic Athletic Association family.

We look forward to helping you participate in Gaelic sports as a player, coach, official, spectator or supporter. Although we are a small organisation, we do our best to provide a positive experience for all our members.

Note: please use the search box to the right to locate cut-price airfares that also support your Gaelic sports association.

What's Happening
Welcome to our Gaelic football season for 2017-2018.
Here's what's going on:
Social Mixed football - continues Sat 9 December with the fourth round of the Social Mixed league, 4pm, Eastside Lutheran College. If you are not yet registered you need to take out the membership package. This will enable you to play in the competition which runs through until the end of the year.
​Super Summer Sixes - we are proposing to play a short season of six-a-side in January and February, with separate men's and ladies' competitions. Most likely this will be a midweek twilight competition and should be a good entry point for those who have never played Gaelic football.
​Pearse's 7s - there is a good chance we will send both men's and ladies' teams to compete at the big 7s day in Melbourne. All the action takes place on Sunday 25 Feb 2018. Please register your interest by contacting us.
​Westbury Irish Festival - we are keen to continue our participation in this festival. Anyone from the north of Tasmania keen to be involved please get in touch. The date is yet to be confirmed but is likely to be a Saturday in the middle of March.
