Now in its 18th season, the Milwaukee Hurling Club boasts a playing membership of 350 people, fielding 11 sponsored co-ed teams, travelling teams in both hurling and camogie and six youth teams for youngsters from ages four to fourteen. The GAA President’s Medal was awarded to founding member and MHC Operations Coordinator Dave Olson in 2006 – the first such honour for an American. Dave has also served as GAA North American Hurling Development Officer. The MHC holds a number of North American County Board championship titles including two men’s Junior B hurling titles and three Junior camogie. The MHC was honoured with a visit from former GAA president Nicky Brennan and other officials in July of 2007. Milwaukee hurler Dan McAuliffe had the honour of competing as the first American-born player in the 2008 M. Donnelly All-Ireland Poc Fada. Irish President Mary McAleese attended the Spirit of Galway hurling game at Milwaukee’s 2006 Irish Festival. Our travelling teams of all codes and grades have been grateful for the support of M Donnelly. Milwaukee Selection with Galway Guests
