🏆 Welcome to Galway City Rapparees GAA Rounders – 2026/27 🏆

Welcome to Galway City Rapparees, Galway City’s GAA Rounders club and one of the fastest-growing Rounders clubs in Ireland.

Founded in 2021, the Rapparees have grown to more than 50 adult members, with Men’s, Women’s and Mixed teams competing at national level.

The 2026 season has been another huge step forward for the club, with the Rapparees reaching three All-Ireland Finals and our Women’s team being crowned 2026 All-Ireland Intermediate Champions.

🏆 Our All-Ireland Success

The Rapparees have enjoyed a remarkable rise through the grades since the club was established.

In 2024, our Junior Mixed team became All-Ireland Champions, while our Women’s team reached the All-Ireland Junior Final.

In 2025, our Men’s team won the All-Ireland Intermediate Championship, earning promotion to Senior for the first time.

Then in 2026, our Women’s team continued that success by winning the All-Ireland Intermediate Championship, securing their place in Senior Rounders for 2027.

The club also qualified for the 2026 Intermediate Mixed and Junior Mixed All-Ireland Finals, meaning three of our five championship teams reached an All-Ireland Final during the season.

Our 2027 Teams

2027 will be another landmark season for Galway City Rapparees, with the club competing across Senior, Intermediate and Junior GAA Rounders.

Men’s, Women’s & Mixed Rounders

One of the things that makes GAA Rounders different is the variety of opportunities available to players.

We compete in Men’s, Women’s and Mixed competitions, with our Mixed teams allowing men and women to compete together on the same team.

Whether you’re an experienced player, coming from another sport or haven’t played competitively in years, there is a place for you at the Rapparees.
