Hamburg GAA’s New Year’s Party
On Saturday, 16th January Hamburg GAA’s inaugural New Year’s Party was hosted by our wonderful sponsor The Irish Rover, Hamburg. Over 50 supporters, fans and members came along to contribute to a brilliant event, which included a food buffet, a highly entertaining pub quiz, an awards ceremony, and live music by the one and only Aidan O’Driscoll.
We also unveiled our brand new jersey, presenting a replica to each of our sponsors – The Irish Rover and MAAS Aviation. Huge thanks to both for their continued support.
The palpable sense of community and craic had on the night shows that Hamburg GAA is not just about sporting endeavours, but is building an inclusive social community in Hamburg, where all are welcome.
A sincere thanks to everyone who came, especially the new faces, who are helping to build this new community in Hamburg – your continued support is greatly appreciated!
Ein dickes Dankeschön an alle, die so rege teilgenommen und dadurch zu diesem erfolgreichen und unterhaltsamen Abend wesentlich beigetragen haben! Die Hamburg GAA-Community wächst und zeigt, dass es bei unserem neuen Verein nicht nur um sportliche Leistung geht, sondern auch um menschliches Miteinander, Integration und den guten alten Spaß am Leben!

ECB Convention, Leuven, Belgium
Hamburg GAA was delighted to attend their first ever ECB Annual Convention this weekend in Leuven, Belgium. We would like to give a huge thanks to all at the European County Board (GAA) and all delegates from the European Clubs who attended the Convention.
The opportunity to take part and contribute to the work of the ECB as well as the chance to pick up tips and advice from all delegates was greatly appreciated.
