The Derry County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: Cummann Lúthchleas Gael Coiste Contae Dhoire) or Derry GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in County Londonderry. The county board is also responsible for the Derry inter-county teams.

Derry were the last of the 32 counties to officially affiliate, after several false starts their county board was formed only in 1932, but they had been competing in the Ulster Football Championship since 1904.

Gaelic football

In 1947 Derry won the National League in bizarre circumstances. The group leaders were invited to play in the League semi-finals because heavy snow had disrupted the competition. Francie Niblock scoring one of the finest goals in League history in a near deserted Croke Park as Derry beat Clare. In the 1958 All Ireland semi-final they achieved a bigger breakthrough when a Seán O'Connell goal three minutes from the end defeated Kerry. In the final, Derry scored a goal ten minutes into the second half through Owen Gribben, but Dublin secured victory with Paddy Farnan and Johnny Joyce goals. Derry contested several more league finals before winning four titles in an eight year period in the 1990s. Bellaghy, Lavey and Ballinderry have won the All Ireland Club Championship, St Columbs and St Pats Maghera won the Hogan Cup, and Derry are one of only two counties to win back-to-back Ulster titles in the past three decades.

It all culminated in the 1993 All Ireland title, a remarkable triumph for the football heartlands around Maghera. Damien Cassidy left the ball hanging in the air just long enough for Séamus Downey to fist a goal, McCusker's saves, Enda Gormley's curling free for the last point of the match, and the first time that Joe Brolly's shimmy had been seen on the big stage.

In recent years they have been unable to get out of Ulster because of the emergence of Tyrone and Armagh.

For Derry's 2008 season see Derry GAA season 2008.

Hurling

Derry City was a hotbed of early GAA activity and sent a hurling team to the 1902 All Ireland semi-final. Hurling teams won the 1986 and 1993 Ulster under-21 titles, but lost most of their players to football. After winning the Senior B championship in 1996, they pulled off a surprise win over Down in the 1998 Ulster championship, despite a dearth of senior clubs. Derry hurlers won the Ulster championship twice in 2000 and in 2001, to add to their other triumphs in 1903 and 1908. Derry won the 2006 Nicky Rackard Cup.

Derry Club Scene

Further information: Derry GAA club football competitions

Many, or even most Derry GAA followers taken a keener interest in the club scene than the inter-county scene. The Derry Senior Club Football Championship is an annual club competition between the top Derry clubs. It is recognised as one of the hardest club championships to get out of successfully in Ireland, as there are so many teams like, Ballinderry, Bellaghy, An Lúb, Slaughtneil, and Glenullin who have a realistic chance of success each year. Attendances at matches are particularly high, with many neutrals from County Tyrone also going to matches, as many view it as the highest standard of club football in Ulster. The winners of the Derry Championship qualify to represent their county in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship and if they win, go on to the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. The current (2007) Derry County Champions are Glenullin.

The Derry Senior Club Hurling Championship is the hurling equivalent, with Kevin Lynch's the defending champions (2007).
