Tá Scór na nÓg ar ais! Scór na nÓg is back! The time has come for GAA clubs and members from up and down the country and further afield to dust down the bróga damhsa and the uirlisí ceoil, to start rehearsing their songs and recitations and to polish up their novelty act skills.
Many, many days entertainment lie ahead and the aim for many, as well as entertaining their fellow GAA friends, family and neighbours, will be to reach a county, provincial or All-Ireland final and to bring and showcase their talents on bigger stages.

This news will no doubt be welcomed by young talented GAA members from all over the country and we wish all those who will be taking part in the coming weeks and months all the very best of luck.

Scór is a GAA competition that combines all the colour and rivalry of Gaelic Games with the social/fun element of Ireland's traditional past-times. The competition was established by the GAA in 1969 with the aim of promoting Ireland's traditional pastimes and culture while offering club members the chance to meet up, have fun and represent their club during the winter months while Football and Hurling had ceased.
There are eight events/disciplines in Scór that cover all aspects of Irish culture: Figure/Céilí Dancing, Solo Singing, Ballad Group, Recitation/Scéalaíocht, Nuachleas/Novelty Act, Instrumental Music, Set Dancing and Table Quiz. The competition is divided into two age levels, Scór na nÓg, for young people under 17 and Scór Sinsir, for those over 17.
Eagraítear Scór go dátheangach - i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla - agus fáiltítear roimh iontrálacha sa dá theanga.
Is féidir coinneáil suas chun dáta maidir le gníomhaíochtaí Scór ar an leathanach Facebook oifigiúil @GAAScórOifigiúil. Look out for ‘Get Into Scór’ information sessions here alsoin the coming weeks.
