It is not known who invented Gaelic Football. The game is in existence for centuries. Like other football sports, such as soccer and Rugby, it is believed to have its origins in forms of football that would have been played around Europe in the middle ages. In 1884 the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) was set up in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, Ireland, and it is now the governing body of Gaelic Football and some other sports.
The main two people who acted as founders of the GAA were Michael Cusack and Maurice Davin. There are some confusion as to who else was at that founding meeting. The seven founder members were Michael Cusack, Maurice Davin (who presided), John Wyse Power, John McKay, J. K. Bracken, Joseph O'Ryan and Thomas St. George McCarthy. Others said to have been there were Frank Moloney, William Foley, a Mr. Dwyer, a Mr. Culhane, William Delehunty, John Butler and William Cantwell.
