The GAA was founded in Thurles in 1884 to promote Ireland's national sports (especially hurling and Gaelic football). They succeeded so well that these quickly became the most popular sports as they had been before British influence in the late 19th century, and remain the most popular ahead of horse-racing, soccer, Rugby, coursing etc.

The GAA was founded on November 1st, 1884 in the Irish town of Thurles in county Tipperary. The main two people who acted as founders 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.
Thomas St. George McCarthy was a Kerryman, but was a policeman in Templemore at the time. He was one of the seven founders of the GAA.
