Leinster GAA and Croke Park Stadium are proud to announce a major initiative to support and celebrate the next generation of GAA players, offering up to 20,000 free tickets for underage teams to the Leinster & Joe McDonagh Cup Finals.

The initiative is part of Leinster GAA’s ongoing commitment to youth participation and community engagement, providing young players with the opportunity to experience the excitement and atmosphere of Senior Hurling Championship match days.

Speaking about the initiative, Cathaoirleach Comhairle Laighean Derek Kent said:
“This is a celebration of our young players and an investment in the future of our games. We want every child involved in GAA to feel connected to the bigger picture — to see our players in action, feel the energy of championship days, and be inspired their Hurling hero’s. By offering 20,000 free tickets to our players, we’re not only giving them a great day out — we’re showing them they belong to something special.”

Eligible groups must consist of a minimum of 10 children (U14 or younger), and must be accompanied by at least two supervising adults per group (1 adult per 10 children).

Applications must be submitted by Club Secretaries no later than 12pm on Wednesday, 4th June 2025. All tickets must be booked in advance and are non-transferable.

Leinster GAA encourages all eligible GAA Teams to apply early to avoid disappointment. This initiative is expected to generate significant interest and is subject to availability.
