Cuala GAA club (or Cuala GAC, in Irish pronounced as /ˈkuəlˠə/) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Dalkey in the south of County Dublin, Ireland. It fields teams in Dublin GAA competitions. Cuala is primarily based in a sports and social centre in Dalkey, and also has playing facilities in Glenageary, Meadow Vale/Clonkeen Park, Shankill and Sallynoggin.

The club name derives from Cualu or Cuala, an ancient kingdom of Ireland that stretched roughly from the Liffey to Arklow.[1]

History

The club was founded as a result of a merger between Dalkey Mitchels and Cuala Casements in 1974.[2]

The club won consecutive All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championships in 2017 and 2018.

The club won their first Dublin Senior Football Championship title in 2024 after defeating reigning champions Kilmacud Crokes 0-14 to 1-10 in the final

The club replaced the Davy Group of stockbrokers as its jersey sponsor with biotech company Amgen in 2019 as part of a deal that attracted notice outside the area.[3] [4] Huawei sponsors the hurlers.[5]
