REGIONAL CLUB
ABOUT THE CLUB
Established in 1995, Manila GAA is one of the earliest Gaelic games clubs in Asia and represents the Philippines within the Asian GAA community. The club has a particularly important place in the history of Gaelic games in the region: Manila hosted the inaugural Asian Gaelic Games in 1996, helping establish the competition that later developed into the centrepiece of the Asian GAA calendar. Today the club continues to bring together Filipino, Irish and international players and welcomes both experienced footballers and newcomers.
