About SAN FRANCISCO GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

The San Francisco Gaelic Athletic Association (SFGAA) is the governing body for Gaelic games in Northern California, organizing leagues, tournaments, and community programs for Gaelic football, hurling, and camogie. It operates a seasonal playing calendar (April–August) and supports multiple men’s and women’s clubs across the Bay Area. The SFGAA manages Páirc na nGael on Treasure Island as its home pitch and clubhouse, where it stages the annual Championship Cup series and other regional finals. The organization runs youth development programs, a Spring Pub League for newcomers, and community events that promote Irish culture and athletic participation. Verification: the organization's EIN (26-2078036) was confirmed to match nonprofit databases and aligns with the SFGAA’s stated 501(c)(3) status on its official website. The association has recent competitive success and ongoing operational activity (including national championship participation and regular seasonal programming).
