The Pittsburgh Gaelic Athletic Association (PGAA) was founded in 2010 and has since promoted the irish sport and culture in Pittsburgh. of course, this was not the start of gaelic sport in Pittsburgh. gaelic football has been played in Pittsburgh since the 1940s. The tradition continues today and the PGAA is now home to three teams, The Pittsburgh Celtics Gaelic Football Club, The Pittsburgh Banshees Ladies Football Club and The Pittsburgh GAA Youth Team. As of march 8, 2014, the club became recognized as a 501(c)iii non-profit organization.the organization's mission is to further the development of gaelic culture in pittsburgh. since its inception, the PGAA has overseen back-to-back-to-back midwest championships (2011-2013 & 2016) and back-to-back national championships (2011 & 2012) for the Pittsburgh Celtics. the Banshees have enjoyed similar success with midwest championships (2011, 2013) and their first ever national championship in 2013. Our club continues to grow, so become part of the tradition by playing, spectating or sponsoring. we look forward to another competitive 2017 season and we thank you for any and all support!
