GAA Ard Stiúrthóir, Tom Ryan, today presented his Annual Report for 2025 in Croke Park.
As ever, it’s a very detailed publication which you can read in full and download at the bottom of this article.
When summing up the year that was, Ryan declared himself satisfied that the Association was in a better place at the end of 2025 than it was at the start.
He wrote: “When the final whistle blows at the end of the year, and when everything is considered, the question we must ask ourselves is whether the GAA is in a better place than twelve months previously.
“I firmly believe that in February 2026 the answer to that question is "yes”.
“Our games are growing, our influence is growing and we are a force for good in communities all over Ireland and further afield.
“The year ahead will bring new challenges, and new opportunities, and I am certain that the GAA will embrace both.
“I wish to acknowledge those who make this the case. Thank you to our players, parents, managers, club officers, supporters, volunteers and staff for giving your time, expertise and energy to make 2025 a success. I hope that you enjoyed the year, and that you appreciate fully the impact you make. I certainly do.
“I hope that you are enthusiastic about what is ahead of us and looking forward to playing your part in making next year even better.
“Our thanks are due in particular to Uachtarán, Iarlaith Ó Broin who has led the Association so effectively for the past two years. You will recall the priorities that he signalled when he took office: how Football is played; spreading the game of Hurling; and renewing our commitment to Amateur Status. The Uachtarán has made remarkable progress. We are in good hands.
“In reporting on the headline events of the last 12 months, I am mindful of the many outstanding men and women who went to their eternal reward since our last congress. Some of those who passed were renowned nationally, others more locally, but all of them made an impact on our Association and we honour that commitment and the legacy they have left us.
“In conclusion, I wish all members every success for the year ahead both on and off the pitch.”
