Present
Gaelic Football has consistently been on offer throughout the years. The Football team has most recently successfully defended their Quebec Cup title, defeating provincial rival Quebec City on October 31 to retain the cup. It marks the third time in the last four years that the Shamrocks have won top honours in the province. There is also a Women's Football team active as well.
The Hurling team made a re-appearance after a roughly 35-year lay-off at a tournament in October 2009, hosted by the Portland (Maine) Marauders GAA Hurling club, and joined by the Barley House Wolves of Concord, NH.
Both Football and Hurling teams are made up of Irish nationals and Montreal residents.

—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“Coming together again after a long day apart can be an experience where joy, relief, anger, and fatigue are all present in different degrees both for the parent and for the child. Because of their importance in marking the resumption of direct contact, reunions deserve as much attention and care as separations to enhance the relationship between parent and child.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“America’s present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration.”
