The county board is also responsible for the New York inter-county teams. The first organised hurling and Gaelic football club in New York was founded in 1857. In the following 30 years, the New York, Emmets, Wolfe Tones, Brooklyn, Geraldine and Men of Ireland clubs were set up. The GAA’s successful North American tour had a notable effect on the growth of hurling in New York and North America in general by the end of the nineteenth century. At this time, the Keane Gaelic Hurling Trophy began to be awarded to the club which won the New York senior championship. New York’s inter-county team has had a number of notable hurling achievements, particularly the 1958 win over Wexford. In 1969, New York defeated Kilkenny over two legs in what was described as a “World Championship Cup”. In the 2006 Ulster Senior Hurling Championship New York scored a famous 1-18 to 1-12 win over Derry. This entitled them to take part in the Ulster final, which had to be delayed because the New York players had trouble traveling. The delayed game took place in Boston on Sunday October 22, 2006 as a curtain-raiser to the Interprovincial Championship football final; New York lost 2-20 to 1-14 to Antrim.
