Province (Gaelic games)
A province is a geographic region within Gaelic games, consisting of several counties of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and originally based on the historic four provinces of Ireland as they were set in 1610.To the right is a map showing the location of the provinces of Ireland, i.e. north, south, east, west.The ultimate goal of Gaelic Games Europe (the European county board) is to become a provincial council.This is due to the strength of their teams with respect to other counties in their province.Teams representing London GAA, though based in Britain, have competed in the Connacht Senior Football Championship and Ulster Senior Hurling Championship (e.g. in 2010).
