Fulham Irish GAA Club is a Gaelic Football and Hurling Club based in London.
One stop shop for Senior dual players Fulham Irish GAA Club achieved unique status at Ruislip on Sunday 07/10/2012 by becoming the only Club in London to offer dual players Senior Football & Senior Hurling. The Club has also got a Senior Ladies team. It is a unique achievement for a Club that was established in 2006 & only formed a hurling team as recently as 2011. The Fulham Irish Hurling Team defeated Granuaille in the London Intermediate Championship Final to gain promotion, in their 2nd year of existence, to the top tier of London Hurling.
The Fulham Irish Footballers won the London Intermediate Championship in their first attempt in 2006 after the London County Board allowed them to enter a team in Intermediate Competitions. The team went on to win the British Provincial title in the same year. The Footballers progressed to win every domestic honour in London culminating with the Senior Championship Trophy on October 16th 2011.
The Fulham Irish Ladies Team was established in 2008 and like the footballers has progressed rapidly through the ranks and now sits comfortably at the top table. The Ladies team won the London Junior Championship in 2010 & followed up with the Intermediate Championship in 2011. The Ladies team won no fewer than 4 domestic cups in 2011. They now compete in all competitions at Senior level.
The Fulham Irish Hurling Team has completed a remarkable journey for the Club by joining the Senior ranks of the London Hurling GAA fraternity. The Hurling team, managed by Dublin Man – Anthony Scullion, won the London Intermediate Championship at the second time of asking. They had lost the Intermediate Championship in 2011 by the narrowest of margins in their first year.
Fulham Irish GAA Club has created a one stop shop for dual players wishing to play both Hurling & Football at Senior Level in London. It is the only Club that offers such an opportunity to players moving to the English Capital. Anyone wishing to join the Club in any capacity should visit the Club website on www.fulhamirish.org

Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or club:
“For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, there was an Irish or a German girl scrubbing floors in that home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making “ladies” dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
“Please accept my resignation. I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.”
—Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
