Brussels Craobh Rua (formerly known as Belgium GAA) is the largest Gaelic Athletic Association club in Belgium, and we compete in the European Championships for the 4 main Gaelic Games codes: Hurling, Camogie and Men’s and Ladies Gaelic Football.
Founded in 2003, our club has become one of the cornerstones of the Irish expat community here in Belgium and has brought the traditional Irish sports of Hurling, Camogie and Gaelic Football to a wide range of nationalities based in Brussels.
We’re part of the GAA in Europe, which is divided into different regions for competitions. Our region is Benelux GAA. We compete in both regional and pan-European competitions in all codes.
Where to find us…
We train at the sports pitches at the VUB, close to Etterbeek train station, on Monday and Thursday evenings. You can find our training times on the homepage.
New members are always welcome, so if you want to try out any of our sports or see for yourself what it’s all about, come on down – we’d be delighted to welcome you!
For any queries, or if you are interested in playing with us, get in touch at secretary.brussels.europe@gaa.ie or communications.brussels.europe@gaa.ie
