Galway GAA
The Galway County Boards of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) ( ga, Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Coiste Chontae na Gaillimhe) or Galway GAA are one of the 32 county boards in Ireland; they are responsible for Gaelic games in County Galway, and for the Galway county teams. Galway is one of the few dual counties in Ireland, competing in a similar level in both hurling and football codes. Prior to amalgamation of the hurling and football county boards into one county board, each of the two codes were previously run by their separate boards in Galway, which was unusual for a dual county. The county football team was the first from the province of Connacht to win an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC), but the second to appear in the final, following Mayo.

In 2016 it had a population of 8,040 people, making it the fourth-largest town in the county. History The port town of New Ross dates from the pre-Middle Ages.

Its name, ''Ros'', was shortened from ''Ros Mhic Treoin'', or ''the Wood of the Son of Treoin''. New Ross was in the territory of Dermot McMurrough and came to prominence when the Anglo-Normans conquered the region.
