The British Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association (Template:Lang-ga)[1] or Britain GAA is the only provincial council of the Gaelic Athletic Association outside the island of Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in Great Britain. The board is also responsible for the British Gaelic football, hurling, camogie and ladies' Gaelic football inter-county teams.

London compete in the National Football League, and in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (as part of Connacht). In the National Hurling League, London play in the tier 3 Christy Ring Cup while Warwickshire and Lancashire play in the tier 5 Lory Meagher Cup.

The British Council is responsible for the seven GAA counties of Britain: Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Lancashire, London, Scotland, Warwickshire and Yorkshire. The GAA counties cover wider areas than their names suggest; the Hertfordshire County Board, for example, oversees clubs in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire; Gloucestershire GAA reaches into South Wales, Warwickshire GAA includes Staffordshire and Birmingham, and so on. The most popular sport is Gaelic football and some clubs are dedicated only to that sport.

History

The old Wembley Stadium has played host to a number of Gaelic football and hurling games, the first taking place in 1958.
