Cologne Celtics GAA was established in 2012 by a group of friends in order to bring the Gaelic Games to the West of Germany and to the people of North Rhine-Westphalia! Although the club got off to a relatively slow start in a city saturated by various sports clubs, Cologne Celtics players have been regularly sending players to the European Hurling & Camogie Championships each season and competing alongside European GAA clubs. In 2016 several Cologne GAA players were even selected to represent the European and German Hurling teams at the GAA World Games, held in the Irish capital Dublin. Hurling/Camogie training is held on a weekly basis, on Thursday evenings, and the possibility of having a second session on weekends is being explored. The club has undergone a revival in recent months with sponsors being sought out and coming on board, as well as a massive collective effort in getting more people (players and supporters alike!) involved in the club. Everyone has their part to play – we are waiting for you! Furthermore, we aim to make Gaelic Football an integral part of our club, too. So if you would like to play hurling/camogie and Gaelic Football as well as have fun (or the ‘craic’ as the saying goes in Ireland) with like-minded people, then please click the button below and get in touch! Absolute beginners are always welcome, so don’t be shy :-) “Kölle…es e jeföhl!” (Cologne/Kölsch dialect: “Cologne is a feeling”).
