In the Official Guide of the Gaelic Athletic Association Rule 4 states as a clear objective the
following: "The Association shall actively support the Irish language, traditional Irish dancing,
music, song and other aspects of Irish culture." With the birth of Scór in 1969 the GAA through its
clubs has become actively involved in promoting Irish culture in a meaningful and enjoyable manner.
Language and culture are amongst the most important elements of Irish heritage. The GAA, through it's
many clubs throughout the country and through Scór nÓg and Scór Sinsear, has played a significant part in
the revival of our culture and heritage in creating an understanding and interest in its importance.
Scór competitions commence in each county with clubs competing to represent their county in one of the many different
Scór events. County winners go through to the Provincial Finals with the winners at that stage qualifying for the
All-Ireland Finals.
Scór is divided in two sections.
- Scór na nÓg caters for the younger GAA members
- Scór Sinsear caters for adults members.
The national finals of both Scór na nÓg and Scór Sinsear are a wonderful occasion and winning a national
title is a tremendous honour for any club.
