The Hertfordshire County Board or Hertfordshire GAA is one of the seven county boards of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Great Britain, and is responsible for the administration of Gaelic games in Hertfordshire, England.
Football
Hurling
The county board was created in 1960 when it was deemed that the number of clubs in the region north of London supported a separate league. The area is not in fact just Hertfordshire but encompasses Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Huntingdonshire and Cambridgeshire.
Hertfordshire is probably among the weakest of the British counties as a result of the small number of large population centres in the region it serves.[ citation needed ] It has further been affected by the general trend of reduced emigration from Ireland to the UK since the 1980s. As a result, a number of the original clubs have folded – including the Milton Keynes-based team, Erin Go Bragh, in 2005. However, a resurgence may be underway. The youth sections of the county have proven to be very promising and in 2018 the Hertfordshire under-14s won the Féile Peile na nÓg in Meath, and followed this by winning a shield competition in Connacht the year after.
Clubs contest the Hertfordshire Senior Football Championship. Éire Óg are the current title holders. Each year the winners represent the county in the All-Britain Junior Club Football Championship.
Hertfordshire county football team currently competes in the All-Britain Junior Football Championship which is part of the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship (Tier 3 of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship).
Hertfordshire has no hurling championship and currently only has one hurling club, St. Declan’s. They compete in the Warwickshire Senior Hurling Championship.
Hertfordshire currently does not field a county hurling team in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.
