Leinster GAA, in partnership with Croke Park Stadium, has announced a new initiative to support young athletes by offering up to 20,000 free tickets to underage teams for the Leinster and Joe McDonagh Cup Finals.
This effort highlights Leinster GAA’s ongoing commitment to youth engagement and community involvement. It aims to give young players a chance to experience the thrill and atmosphere of Senior Hurling Championship match days firsthand.
Derek Kent, Cathaoirleach Comhairle Laighean, spoke about the program: “This is a celebration of our young players and an investment in the future of our games. We want every child involved in GAA to feel connected to the bigger picture — to see our players in action, feel the energy of championship days, and be inspired by their hurling heroes. By offering 20,000 free tickets to our players, we’re not only giving them a great day out — we’re showing them they belong to something special.”
To qualify, groups must include at least 10 children aged 14 or younger. Each group should be accompanied by a minimum of two supervising adults, maintaining a ratio of one adult per ten children.
Club Secretaries must submit ticket applications by 12 p.m. on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. All tickets must be booked in advance and are non-transferable.
