TheDeutscher Bund Gälischer Sportarten (DBGS), also known as theGerman GAA, is a union of GermanGaelic games clubs. As of 2021, the union consisted of 11 GermanGaelic Athletic Association clubs. Founded in 2015, the DBGS organises theGaelic football,hurling andcamogie cups held in Germany and is also responsible for the Germany national team selection for international cups.
The union was founded in 2015 in Berlin. Its goals are the coordination of combined project and funding proposals and the organisation of the German cups in hurling, camogie and Gaelic football. The DBGS also coordinates coaching and referee courses for Gaelic games. It is currently[when?] not a federation of the GAA, but mostly a union of the German clubs which are part of the Gaelic Athletic Association andGaelic Games Europe.[citation needed]
The long-term goal of the DBGS is the establishment of the Gaelic games as an official sport in Germany.[citation needed]
