Scór is the GAA competition that promotes areas of Irish culture in addition to our ball games.
The competitions are divided into Scór na nÓg (Under 17s) and Scór Sinsir (Over 17s) and involves county champions competing to represent their province at the All-Ireland final.
Winners at the finals are All-Ireland champions and are presented with All-Ireland medals and trophies in a similar manner to other GAA codes.
It is a huge honour to represent your club and county at a national level.
The Scór competitions consist of 8 categories and clubs can participate in any amount of categories they wish.
Clubs playing multiple codes can enter multiple times, for example a club that plays GAA and Ladies Football could enter 2 teams in the same category.
The categories are:
| Table Quiz | Teams of 4 answering questions on GAA, Irish History, Geography, Irish and World Current Affairs, etc... |
| Céilí dancing | Teams of 4 to 8 dancers. |
