About us

Ranelagh Gaels is a community GAA Club based in Dublin 6 and 4.

We offer football for men and women, and football, hurling and camogie for boys and girls. We have an inclusive games programme for children with additional needs. We also offer Gaelic 4 Mothers & Others for women who want to play football in a non-competitive environment.

Off the field we are putting down roots as we build a community in our local area. Our aim is to provide training and games for all of those that want them and other outlets for those who want to be part of a club but don’t want to be part of one of our teams on the field.
The club was founded in 2003 by several locals, including Denis King, current club president Liam O’Hagan and former president, the late Dick Morrissey.
We started off with a single men’s team and a few years later our women’s team came into being.

Since then our women’s team have won the Dublin Junior E Championship in their first year in 2010 and in 2019 added the Junior D title. The men won the Dublin Junior 2 Championship at Parnell Park in 2018.
We are a GAA Healthy Club having gained the award in 2019, part of the second intake of GAA Healthy Clubs. We are also a member of the Gaisce The President’s Award, a personal development programme for young people aged 15-to-25, and we have signed up to the Sport Inclusion Disability Charter.
As our underage section is relatively new, starting in 2012, we are still growing upwards through the grades and we are looking forward to the day in a few years’ time when our own home-grown players are lining out for our adult teams.
  
Our Juvenile Academy offers Gaelic Games coaching in a fun and safe environment for children from the ages of four years-old and up. From Under-8 we enter teams in Dublin competitions.

We currently don’t own a pitch to call our own and one of our major aims is to secure a permanent home for the club.
