AIB launch All-Ireland Club Championships

AIB today proudly marks the launch of the AIB GAA, LGFA, and Camogie All-Ireland Club Championships, underscoring its unique support for four codes of Gaelic Games, celebrating the joy and support that defines the club experience. Joining AIB for the launch are ambassadors Louise Ward (Kilkerrin-Clonberne), Aoife Prendergast (Dicksboro), Shane O’Donnell (Éire Óg), and Jordan Morris (Kingscourt Stars), who all embody the spirit of their clubs.

This season is AIB's second as proud sponsor of the AIB Club Championship, uniting all four codes of Gaelic Games – Gaelic football, hurling, camogie, and ladies football. This season also marks AIB's 35^th year supporting the AIB GAA All-Ireland Club Championships, its 13^th year of backing the AIB Camogie All-Ireland Club Championships, and its second year sponsoring the All-Ireland Ladies Football Club Championships. County Championships are nearing completion, and this season has already proven to be one of significant change and excitement. Clubs who haven't tasted county success for many years have finally claimed long-awaited titles, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting provincial and All-Ireland series.

AIB's focus shines on the collective spirit and the moments that transcend the scoreboard – the shared laughter, the collective effort, the unwavering belief, and the personal triumphs that make Gaelic Games so special.

As part of the new season, AIB is proud to introduce the 'AIB Moments of the Championship Award'. Each month throughout the club championships, AIB will showcase two standout moments per code. AIB is proud to stand alongside these athletes who embody the heart and soul of their communities. Week after week, they leave it all on the field, fuelled by passion, dedication, and an unyielding pride that runs generations deep.

Speaking at today’s launch, AIB Chief Customer Officer, Orlaith Ryan said: “AIB is incredibly proud to continue to support the GAA, Camogie and LGFA Club Championships. This year marks our second year as proud sponsor, uniting the four codes of Gaelic Games. So far this season, county championships have showcased the very best of Gaelic Games in communities across the country, from thrilling upsets to first-time champions, decisive victories to long-awaited county glory. Our focus this season is fixed on the moments that truly transcend the competition - it's the quiet dedication woven into every hour that make these championships so special. To all participating clubs, we wish you the very best of luck.”

Speaking at the launch, Uachtarán Cumann Peil Gael na mBan, Trina Murray said: “We are delighted to have AIB’s continued support for the All-Ireland Ladies Club Football Championships. AIB's commitment to Ladies Football is hugely significant for the growth and recognition of our game. With county championships delivering such thrilling outcomes and new contenders emerging, we are anticipating a truly exciting provincial and All-Ireland series and wish all teams the very best of luck.”

Speaking at the launch, Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael, Jarlath Burns said: “Another action-packed provincial and All-Ireland series awaits in the AIB GAA Club Championships as county championships are being decided all over Ireland. As clubs nationwide prepare to represent their communities, families and friends with pride on the provincial and national stage, we also celebrate AIB’s 35th year of unwavering GAA support across club Gaelic Football and Hurling, a partnership which has been a fantastic commitment to our communities. To have been crowned county champions creates memories to last a lifetime – and with that honour comes the chance to make even more history in the next stage of the AIB GAA Club Championships. We look forward to another exciting season of colour, drama, excitement, and passion as the provincial series begins.”

Speaking at the launch, Uachtarán an Cumann Camógaíochta, Brian Molloy said: “I would like to thank AIB for their continued support of the AIB Camogie All-Ireland Club Championships and for their commitment across all four codes. Clubs are the heartbeat of Gaelic games. They are where communities unite, and lifelong memories are made.
