In general, we provide all the specialized equipment you’ll need to play our games. This is primarily for hurling and camogie. When you get started, we’ll provide you with a hurley (the stick used in the game) and a helmet. As you get more involved, you’ll likely want to get your own. All the equipment you need can typically be acquired for under $100 – and there is often used gear available from other members. Personal gear that you need to provide is only a sturdy pair of cleats, a mouthguard (for football) and any other personal gear you choose to wear – such as shin guards.

Our City League is our recreational outlet, with co-ed play in both hurling and Gaelic football. Games are played throughout the spring and summer, and while these games can be quite competitive, the emphasis is squarely on fun. During the off-season (September through March) we organize many fun outdoor and indoor activities.

We are as much a social club as a sports club. As an adult club, we have a great number of pub evenings, and the occasional weekend pub crawl. There are fun activities such as our annual Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament each February, and the Turkey Bowl in November, where we play a golf versions of our games. Because we are part of the Irish Heritage Club of Seattle, we also have opportunities to join our affiliated programs for events and activities. These include the Irish Network business group, Irish Reels Film Festival and many more.
