Ranelagh Gaels is a community GAA Club based in Dublin 6 and Dublin 4, offering men’s and women’s football, hurling and camogie and the same sports for boys and girls, including an inclusive games programme for children with additional needs. We also offer Gaelic 4 Mothers & Others for women who wish to enjoy playing football in a non-competitive environment.

The club was founded in 2003 by people living locally who lamented the lack of a GAA presence in Ranelagh. Those locals included Denis King, current club president Liam O’Hagan and former president, the late Dick Morrissey. It all started with a single men’s football team and was followed a few years later by a women’s football team. The women’s team won the Dublin Junior E Championship in 2010, added the Junior D title in 2019 and finished 2025 securing league promotion and winning a league and cup double. The men’s team won the Dublin Junior 2 Championship at Parnell Park in 2018 and continues improve and evolve, earning consecutive league promotions and securing a place in AFL Division 5 for 2026.

Our underage section which started with a few girls and boys in 2012, has grown ups through the grades and in 2021, a female juvenile member became the first academy graduate to play adult football. This has been followed by other graduates every year since and the club has been able to expand the adult section now fielding multiple men’s and women’s teams.

The Ranelagh Gaels Juvenile Academy offers Gaelic Games training in a fun and safe environment for children from age 5 to 7 every Saturday morning during the school year, weather permitting. Following their graduation from the academy, the players can look forward to under 8 Go games where every child gets to play (a Go) in every game, for the full game.

Off the field we are putting down roots as we build a community in our local area. Our aim is to provide training and games for those with a competitive outlook and for those who want to be part of a club but don’t wish take to the field with one of our teams. Ranelagh Gaels currently don’t own a pitch of our own and one of our major aims of the club is to secure a permanent home encompassing both playing facilities and club house.
