The long-awaited merger of the GAA, Ladies Gaelic Football Association and Camogie Association will take effect in 2027, uniting four codes under one governing structure. The unification carries an estimated cost of €500m and aims to reshape governance, administration and commercial operations within Irish sport. A steering group on integration, chaired by former president Mary McAleese, has pledged a comprehensive, thoroughgoing listening process with stakeholders. Persistent concerns remain that formal consolidation may mask entrenched gender inequality, requiring targeted reforms in resource allocation, governance representation and accountability to secure equitable development and visibility for women's Gaelic games.
