The RAK Ropairí GAA club was founded in October 2015 by a small group of expatriate teachers from all across the world. Some wanted to revive the Gaelic playing days of their youth, while others wanted to learn a new sport and experience a part of the Irish culture. With just ten girls paying consistently throughout the 2015-16 season in the Junior B league, the team earned promotion to Junior A following an unbeaten season - a huge achievement for a new club with such small numbers. Since then, interest for and recognition of the club has grown rapidly, both in Ras Al Khaimah and across the Gulf. With new players joining us each week and juvenile training sessions now taking place, we are looking forward to another season as a developing club.
