Scór, what is it?

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.
Solo singing	Song of the history of Ireland, its people, places and folklore.
Recitation / Storytelling	Recitations, monologues, poems and stories relating to Ireland, its history, local folklore, people and places.
Ballad Group	3 to 5 members playing 2 ballads contrasting in tempo.
Novelty Act	Stage presentation / drama piece, rich in cultural content with a theme based on an aspect of Irish life, culture or folklore.
Instrumental Music-	2 to 5 members playing 3 tunes (2 tunes for Scór na nÓg).
Set Dancing	4 to 8 dancers performing 2 figures of a set.

The Scór competitions are conducted through the English language- ach bíonn fáilte mhór i gcónaí roimh iontrálacha i nGaeilge.

Dublin GAA has had success through the years with Crumlin, Clanna Gael Fontenoy, St Oliver Plunkett Eoghan Ruadh, St. Anne's, Lucan Sarsfields, St. Vincents, Na Fianna, Erin’s Isle and Dóchas Éireann (DCU) all enjoying All-Ireland success at various stages.
