Laois GAA
The Laois County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: Cumann Luthchleas Gael Coiste Laois) or Laois GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in County Laois. The county board is also responsible for the Laois county teams.
The county football team contested the second ever All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC) final in 1889. In 1926, the county won the final of the first National Football League competition, defeating Dublin. 1936 brought the team's only other appearance in an All-Ireland SFC decider.
The county hurling team won an All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) in 1915.
Laois is a dual county, and has a comparable record at both football and hurling. It is one of a select group of counties to have contested All-Ireland finals in both football and hurling. Laois is a six-time Leinster Senior Football Champion, and three-time Leinster Senior Hurling Champion.
In recent times Laois have been more successful footballers than hurlers. Laois minors have had considerable success over the past two decades,[when?] and the Laois senior footballers reached the Leinster final in 2003 (victorious), 2004, 2005 and 2018.
As of 2025, Laois hurlers compete in the Joe McDonagh Cup.
MW Hire sponsored Laois GAA for 14 years, while Laois Hire was announced as its new sponsor in a five-year deal from October 2022 onwards.
The major local club competitions in Laois are the championships which are listed below.
