24 clubs from Ireland and Britain have been confirmed to take part in the 2025 Glenveagh Homes Gaelic4Girls Programme run by the LGFA.
The Gaelic4Girls programme has been a huge success story since its inception in 2008 – and is boosted once again next year by the presence and support of sponsors Glenveagh Homes.
In 2025, 18 counties (including Hertfordshire and London), are represented among the list of 24 participating clubs.
The roll-out of the programme will be assisted by leading inter-county players serving as ambassadors, namely Aimee Mackin (Armagh), Laurie Ryan (Clare), Jennifer Higgins (Roscommon), Leah Caffrey (Dublin), Blaithín Bogue (Fermanagh), Síofra O’Shea (Kerry) and Louise Ward (Galway).
One further new programme ambassador will be be announced in January.
“This programme continues to grow and evolve, and has been enhanced significantly by the presence of sponsors Glenveagh Homes, who recently announced a three-year extension to its sponsorship of Gaelic4Girls,” said LGFA President Mícheál Naughton.
“They have demonstrated huge belief in the programme and they will also sponsor our National Volunteer of the Year awards for the next three years, proof positive of their wonderful commitment to our grassroots activities.”
“The Gaelic4Girls initiative provides participants with their first introduction to Ladies Gaelic Football and we are pleased once again to see such a healthy spread of clubs from across the four provinces, along with our overseas representatives.”
“We are thrilled to continue our support for the Gaelic4Girls initiative in 2025, a programme that has steadily grown in popularity and plays a key role in developing both sporting and social skills for young girls at the local level,” added Annette McGarry, Head of Community Engagement, Glenveagh Homes.
“As part of our Building Lasting Communities programme, we are committed to supporting grassroots initiatives that make a positive impact in the communities where we work.”
“We look forward to partnering with the LGFA to help grow this fantastic programme over the next year and we wish everyone participating in the 2025 programme the very best of luck.”
Three clubs each from Dublin and Donegal will take part as well as two from Down and London, and one each from Clare, Cork, Fermanagh, Hertfordshire, Kerry, Kildare, Meath, Monaghan, Sligo, Tipperary, Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow.
SPORT FOR BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE
Clubs are the main area where girls and boys develop the friendships and skills that keep them active within sport. Creating, developing and supporting this initiative is a real positive in that space.

The next action in Ladies Football will be the start of the Lidl National Leagues in January.
