Denver Gaels Hurling


Team History – We brought hurling to Denver in 2004, and after a few years building our team we won the NACB Junior C championship in 2007. In 2010 we reached another milestone in our history finishing 2nd in the NACB Junior B championship.

How to Play With Us – In the Summer and Fall we hold practices to hone our skills during the week, and on weekends we play a local pub league on Sunday afternoons at Clement Park (complete schedule).  We welcome newcomers to join us year round, no experience necessary, contact Eamonn for more details

Club Hurling Teams – We have two club hurling teams playing at the Junior B and Junior C levels. We compete against other American clubs at competitions throughout the summer. Our season culminates with a trip to the North American Championships on Labor Day weekend.
