History

Berlin GAA is the longest-established GAA club in Berlin. [3] Founded in 2014 by Kerry native Christopher Hennessy, the club began as a casual kick-around between Christopher and his son on the grounds of Tempelhofer Feld. Since it's founding over a decade ago, the club has grown rapidly, fielding competitive adult teams in men's and ladies' Gaelic football, hurling, and camogie.

Sadly Christopher did not get to see how impressively the club blossomed since its founding, passing away less than one year after the clubs establishment. [4] The German National Hurling Cup is named in his honour. [5]

Since its inception in 2014, Berlin GAA has grown into a vibrant, multicultural community that welcomes players of all levels seeking to play Gaelic games in the German capital. [6]
