WHO ARE THE COUGARS?
The Cougars GFC (Gaelic Football Club) is based in Los Angeles, California. At over 70 active members, we are the largest GAA club located in LA. Our two men’s teams and one women’s team train twice a week and have two to three games per month against other clubs in the SoCal area and beyond. Our season runs from March to September every year with several social events along the way! Our training sessions are open to all skill levels and backgrounds so get in touch, grab your boots and we'll see you there!
WTF IS GAELIC FOOTBALL?
If soccer, basketball and rugby had a drunken threesome, the resulting accident-child would be Gaelic Football. It's a high-fitness, technical sport born and raised in Ireland that is rapidly spreading across the United States. There are clubs in almost every major city in the US, one of which hosts the North American Finals every September. Including the Cougars, there are 11 teams in California alone with the Cougars being the only club location in Los Angeles.

Off the field the Cougars organize many social outings for its members across LA! To date, activities have included: post-game parties at our partner bars, attending sporting events, bar crawls, golf outings and day trips to the races!
