Welcome to the Athea GAA website. This website will act as a means through which you the public can keep in touch with all events happening within our club and the surrounding area. Athea GAA is an extremely proud West Limerick club. Nestled on the banks of the Gale , our club down through the years enjoyed many successes at all levels of competition. Predominantly a football playing club, we currently have teams competing successfully at all grades, namely U10, U12, U14, U16, Minor, U21, Junior and Intermediate Level.

The future looks very bright for our small club. This is down to the dedication of players, managers and committee members. Ultimately what it boils down to is the hard work being put in, not only at senior and junior level, but with our younger players, as we see the younger generation as both the foundation and basis on which our club is built. This always has been and always will be the idology behind our club. The players, while as important as each and every one of them are, they only act only as part of our club. These players are led and served by a very efficient and very hardworking committee that make sure that our club is run in the most effective and efficient manner.
