This article is about the Gaelic football team. For association football, see soccer in the New York metropolitan area.

The New York county football team represents the New York metropolitan area in men's Gaelic football and is governed by New York GAA, the County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association. The team competes in three of the four major annual inter-county competitions; the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, Tailteann Cup and the Connacht Senior Football Championship; it does not currently compete in the National Football League.

New York's home ground is Gaelic Park, New York City. The team's manager is Johnny McGeeney.

New York last won the National League in 1967. New York has never won the Connacht Senior Championship or All-Ireland Senior Championship.

History

In 1981, in front of a sold-out crowd of 5,000, the New York Select Carroll's All Stars defeated Galway (after a draw the previous Sunday) at Gaelic Park NY, to claim which cup?[clarification needed] This was the match at which Brian Quinn unfurled his "Carroll You're an Animal" banner.

Gerry Fox, the former Longford footballer, was appointed manager for the 2020 season.[1] But the team withdrew due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games.

Under Johnny McGeeney's management, New York played against an opponent from outside Connacht in 2022, a first in championship history, Offaly the opponent and Tullamore the venue.[2]

Competitive record

League

New York has three league titles.

1950: New York defeated Cavan in the final.[4][5][6][7][8][9]

1964: Dublin made the trip to The Bronx for the final, also billed as the "World Championship". A Brendan O'Donnell goal after half-time allowed NY to build up a seven-point lead, which a Dublin rally reduced to one point. Late in the game, players brawled on the field and were joined by a spectator, who received a black eye. New York captain Tom Hennessy scored a late point to seal victory.[10][11]

1967: Three-in-a-row All-Ireland SFC winner Galway was defeated in the final.[12][13][14][15][16]

New York participated in the FBD League until 2011.[citation needed]

Championship

Regular kit

New York first competed in the Connacht Senior Football Championship in 1999[17] and first competed in the Tailteann Cup in its first edition, in 2022.

History repeated itself, with another heavy loss to Roscommon.[citation needed]
