Leinster GAA and Croke Park Stadium are offering up to 20,000 complimentary tickets for underage teams to attend the Leinster and Joe McDonagh Cup finals.

The initiative is part of Leinster GAA’s ongoing commitment to youth participation and community engagement, providing young players with the opportunity to experience the excitement and atmosphere of Senior Hurling Championship match days.

Interested teams must consist of a minimum of 10 children, which should be U14 or younger and need to be accompanied by at least two supervising adults. All GAA teams interested are encouraged to apply early to avoid disappointment, with this initiative expected to generate significant interest.

Applications are to be submitted by the Club Secretaries no later than noon on Wednesday, June 4.

Leinster GAA chairman Derek Kent said: “This is a celebration of our young players and an investment in the future of our games.

“We want every child involved in GAA to feel connected to the bigger picture to see our players in action, feel the energy of championship days, and be inspired by their Hurling heroes.

“By offering 20,000 free tickets to our players, we’re not only giving them a great day out — we’re showing them they belong to something special.”
