Founded in 2010, the club competes annually with teams from across Canada and the United States for the North American Championship. Locally, they compete in the city championship and provide an important social outlet for Irish immigrants and Canadians seeking to learn more about Irish culture. Having been invited by the Galway County Board of the GAA and Aer Lingus to send a National team representing Canada in a prestigious Hurling Tournament which takes place in County Galway, Ireland during the third week of September 2013 is such an honour and privilige. Joseph P. Ryan’s Vancouver will proudly send ten players to Ireland along with two selectors who will make up part of the management team while the Toronto Hurling Club will proudly send eleven players and two selectors for management. Thank you to all for allowing our athletes to represent Canada in this once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of Ireland’s nationwide Gathering Event.
