About

GAA Pitch Finder is a free interactive map of GAA club pitches worldwide. It was started in 2017 as a personal project and has grown to cover nearly 2,000 pitches across Ireland and the global Irish diaspora.

The project

The map began with a simple question: where are all the GAA pitches in Ireland? What started as a weekend project turned into something much bigger. Club locations have been collected and verified over several years, with coordinates cross-referenced against satellite imagery and club websites.

The data now covers every county in Ireland and clubs in Great Britain, North America, Europe, Australasia, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Each entry includes GPS coordinates, elevation, annual rainfall, and a Google Maps directions link.

Who built it

GAA Pitch Finder is built and maintained by Ryan McGuinness. The dataset is published openly on GitHub and has been used in academic research, government programmes, and commercial GIS systems.
