This National Volunteer Week (18–24 May), we’re proud to launch the Australasia Gaelic Games Volunteer Awards 2026.
Every week across Australia and New Zealand, volunteers give their time and energy to keep Gaelic games thriving – taking training sessions, officiating matches, organising competitions, promoting our games, and everything in between. A sincere thank-you to every Gaelic games volunteer in Australasia.
