Report

From 1900 to 1903 and again in 1908, London played the Home Final Champions for the All-Ireland Championship. London lost on each of these occasions, three times to Dublin, and once each to Tipperary and Kerry.

These Finals can be seen as the Precursor to the St. Brendan’s Cup Finals of 1954-1960 and the World Cup Championship of 1967 to 1969 when New York played the National League and All-Ireland Championship, and eventually as precursor to London and New York playing in the All-Ireland Championship (in the Connacht Provincial Championship) and also the GAA World Games, GAA Britain Provincial Championship and International Rules Series between Ireland and Australia.

GAA Hurling All-Ireland Senior Championship Finals London v 32 Counties Champions 1900-1903

Gaelic Athletic Association 20th Century logo [References: 1]

GAA All-Ireland Senior Hurling Finals 1887-2020

Year	Winners		Runners-Up
1900	Tipperary	2-5	London	0-6
1901	London	1-5	Cork	0-4
1902	Cork	3-13	London	0-0
1903	Cork	3-16	London	1-1

[References: 2]

Report

From 1900 to 1903 an early version of the St. Brendan’s Cup and World Cup Championship of the 1950s and 1960 was experimented with when London played the 32 Counties Champions in the All-Ireland Final. London won one of these All-Ireland Finals in 1901 defeating Cork, although Cork gained revenge the following two years. In 1900 the first of these Finals featured a victorious Tipperary.

Like in the later St. Brendan’s Cup (1954-1960) and World Cup Championship (1967-1969) the Challenger gained a bye to a match with the 32 counties Champions, although in this case it was London rather than New York, and counted as the All-Ireland Final rather than separate competition between the All-Ireland Champions and New York as in the later competitions. These can be seen in the light of history as an early precursor to New York and London playing in the All-Ireland Championship itself (both were placed in Connacht in Gaelic Football), and the Christy Ring, Nickey Rackard and Lory Meagher Cups (Divisions 3-5 in Hurling All-Ireland Championship Cups); and also the International Rules series between Ireland and Scotland.

Report

Denver / Indianapolis of the North American Board took Gold in Zone 3 of the GAA International Hurling Tournament in Galway over the weekend of the 19th to 21st September 2013. Their opponents in the Zone Final were Hurling Club Buenos Aires who had also qualified for the final with a massive 50 points to 1 win over Non-Irish Europe in their last group match. Their previous match with Barley House Wolves finished 18 points apiece so they had needed to win by at least 30 to qualify for the Final. The final itself was low-scoring given the drizzle, with Denver / Indianapolis 0-5 to 0-3 up at the half. Two points by Marc Ganly and Turco Yelen levelled the game but Denver / Indianapolis scored a last minute winner.

Report

The first ever Gaelic Football Internationals in India took place on Friday, 10th May 2019 in Thyagaraj Stadium, New Delhi. Both Men’s and Women’s matches were played between the hosts India Wolfhounds and Qatar GAA. Qatar GAA brought together players from all over the Gulf Island, with players from Dublin, Cork, Galway, Offaly and Clare as well as India, Netherlands, Argentina, Britain and USA. The India Wolfhounds were restarted after a gap of three years for the match.

The men’s match started vigourously, with Derry’s George McCallion scorng the first ever point in a GAA match on Indian soil, however, Rajveer “Raj” Chouvarry scored some delighful points, including one chip of the Qatar GAA goalkeeper. The game was played in great spirit and phenomenal workrate and skill in the New Delhi heat.

The Ladies match followed the men’s, and was worth the wait as both teams traded scores in a match played at an exhilirating pace. Katie Daly, who was newly arrived in India, had set up the first India Wolfhounds Ladies team, turning up to the first training session at a patch of grass by the side of one of New Delhi’s busiest roads, not knowing how it would turn out, and started with a couple of ladies training alongside the men, but built up a team in time for the match. They intended to enter the 2019 Asia Gaelic Games following this encounter, taking place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 8th-10th November.

Note: Agg = Aggregate score over two matches.

Report

In the first GAA Hurling World Championship Cup in 1967, held in Gaelic Park, New York, between the hosts and the All Ireland Champions, Kilkenny, it was the Cats who were victorious, by 38-22 on aggregate over a two-game series. The following year New York travelled to Wexford, losing to the Yellowbellies in a single game series, and then in 1969 the New York team again hosted a two-game series with the All Ireland Champions, this time defeating Kilkenny on aggregate.

About The GAA World Championship Cup

New York played the All-Ireland Champions at Hurling and Gaelic Football for the World Championship Cup from 1967 to 1969. They now play in the All-Ireland Championship itself, and the other World Counties (United States, Canada, Australasia, Europe, Asia and Middle East) play in the GAA World Games, which is like a Provincial Championship for the World Counties.
