Fáilte! Welcome!

Some Wikipedians formed a project to better organise articles relevant to Gaelic games. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.

If you have any questions about the project, please enquire on the talk page.

If you would like to help, see the tasks section below. Advice on sources is available.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Scope

This WikiProject aims to create, expand and improve listings relevant to the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and its associated sports, i.e. Gaelic football, hurling, camogie, Gaelic handball and rounders. The scope of the project covers articles on these sports, their competitions, the county boards, club and county teams, players and other related matters.

Tasks

Are you a newcomer to Wikipedia or to this project? See here for beginner's tasks.

Ensure that :Category:Scheduled Gaelic games competitions and its contents are updated, with the competition removed from the category if it is no longer scheduled.

Ensure that the competition navigation templates are updated:

Louth–Meath Gaelic football rivalry, mentioned in the Meath team article, but needs sources: "During this period, Meath had a Leinster Senior Football Championship (SFC) rivalry with Louth: in the six editions of that competition held between 1948 and 1953 the teams met each year. 1950 and 1951 were both settled after a replay, while the 1949 match required three games to separate the sides." See also: 2010 Leinster Senior Football Championship final and 2025 Leinster Senior Football Championship#Final. Add to {{tl|Gaelic football rivalries}}.

;Biography

  • If you would like to begin a new biography, but are still unsure which are notable, you can help by creating the following missing football All Stars:

}}

:Note that some of these players may have pages already created under a different title. If this is the case, the template for that year's All Stars (Template:XXXX All Stars) needs to be altered to reflect the correct article name. See here for details on the layout of a typical player biography.

=Problems to solve=

  • Brendan O'Leary is described as playing for Wexford, but pictured playing for Kerry?
  • {{t|Wexford NHL Team 1956}} has Jim Morrissey as number 7 and number 8. Is one of them supposed to be Mick? It is unclear which number should be changed.
  • Is it "Whel e han" or Whel a han"? [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Simon_Whelahan&oldid=526072419 Simon] moved from "a" to "e" in 2012. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brian_Whelehan&oldid=632561055 Brian] moved from "e" to "a" in 2014 after a talk page request. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pad_Joe_Whelehan Pad Joe] has an "e" in its title and an "a" throughout the article.
  • The template for London's only All-Ireland SHC title was deleted in January 2025.
  • {{tl|2023 Joe McDonagh Cup Team of the Year}} was deleted in March 2025 because it had no article link. It was established at the TfD for {{tl|2024 Joe McDonagh Cup Team of the Year}} that an article link existed but that it had not been included on the template.
