Welcome to the Southern Districts Gaelic Football Clubs Website
Gaelic Football - "the all-round game" of hand, foot and round ball skills - has been played across Australia and NZ for several decades by Irish immigrants, visa workers and backpackers keen to play the national sport of their youth. In Sydney and Melbourne the ancient game of Hurling also is played. These days Gaelic football is played by women, men, boys and girls of all backgrounds across all states of Australia (Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane) and in Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand. Partly this is a result of fewer Irish immigrants since the Irish economic boom of the 1990s but primarily it reflects the enthusiasm of Aussies and Kiwis finding the excitement and joy of the world's best all-round game.
