About the Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta na bhFear Sinsear (Senior Men) 2022

The Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta was inaugurated in 1969 as the Gaelic Football Championship for the winners of each of the seven Gaeltacht Area Championships in Ireland. There are two grades in each of the Men’s and Women’s competitions: Sinsear (Senior – literally Ancestors) and Sóisear (Junior) representing two tiers of Adult Football (rather like Major and Minor in American Sports) rather than age grades. It is hosted over a weekend in a different location in the Gaeltacht Areas each year. The Host GAA Club and the Holders also gain entry along with the Champions of the seven Gaeltacht Area Championships.
