Wicklow Schools GAA
There is a very strong emphasis on Gaelic games in schools in Wicklow, both primary and secondary schools. In almost all cases coaching is done on a voluntary basis by teachers who may have links to local GAA clubs.
In the Cumann na mBunscoil league for primary schools, St Cronan's BNS and St.Joseph's Newtownmountkennedy continue to be dominant forces in Gaelic football.
The county's Vocational Schools team has won 12 Leinster and 3 All-Ireland Championships, the last coming in 2006.
