Best Answer

Some see it as representing Irish culture which they do not want to be part of, mainly in Northern Ireland. However, many Protestants do play GAA and there has even been a President of the GAA who was a Protestant. Also, the Sam Maguire trophy, the most important trophy in Gaelic Football is named after a Protestant. He was very much involved in the GAA.

How many people play GAA?

You cannot play GAA. The GAA is an organisation, not a sport. It governs a number of sports including Gaelic Football, Hurling, Camogie, Handball and Rounders. The rules of those sports are all different.


Is Camogie just for Catholics?

No. Camogie is a sport that can be played by any woman, whatever her religion. In general, for historic and political reasons, Gaelic Games are predominantly played by Catholics, but people from other religions and of no religion also play them. Although Gaelic Games are usually not associated with Protestants, the most important trophy in Gaelic sports, the Sam Maguire Cup, is named after a Protestant. Sam Maguire was a very important person in the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). Other prominent Protestants have been involved and even been president of the GAA. So Camogie, as a Gaelic sport, can most certainly be played by non-Catholics.
