Our Club


Munich Colmcilles is a Gaelic Football and Hurling club which was initially founded in 2001 by a group of Irish ex-pats in the English Garden. We have a full men's Gaelic Football team which has participated in the European-League since 2001. The ladies team first emerged in 2002 and participates in the European ladies Football tournaments which run alongside the men's tournaments. In 2007 the underage section of Munich Colmcilles was started with kids aged from 5-12 learning the skills of hurling.

In 2025 we introduced Gaelic 4 Mothers & Others. This is a non-competitive, recreational form of Gaelic football designed primarily for women, especially mothers, who may be new to the sport or returning after a break. It focuses on fun, fitness, and social inclusion, with simplified rules and emphasis on participation rather than winning.

A vital part of the club is the off pitch activities which include social nights, Biergarden visits, events and the post tournament craic at up to 8 continental European venues over the summer.

Munich Colmcilles club is currently part of SV Gartenstadt Trudering and the club grounds are located to the south of Munich city in an area called Ostpark.

Training


Munich Colmcilles run training for gaelic football and hurling/camogie throughout the year.

Adult training is built around our mens and ladies teams. New players and beginners are always welcome.

Youth training is suitable for boys and girls usually from 6 years old and upwards. The training sessions are structured to keep the young ones busy, while the older kids practice skills and get to play matches.

Training sessions take place on Tuesday evenings (adults) and Saturday mornings (adults and kids). During the main season, training takes place outdoors at our pitches, while over the winter, we arrange indoor training sessions

For specific training times and session planning, contact a relevant committee member, who will arrange to add you to the appropriate message groups where up to date information is posted.
