Cuala GAA club (or Cuala GAC, [ˈkuəlˠə] KOO-luh) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Dalkey in the south of County Dublin, Ireland. It fields teams in Dublin GAA competitions. Cuala is primarily based in a sports and social centre in Dalkey, and also has playing facilities in Glenageary, Meadow Vale/Clonkeen Park, Shankill and Sallynoggin.
The club name derives from Cualu or Cuala, an ancient kingdom of Ireland that stretched roughly from the Liffey to Arklow.[1]
History
The club was founded as a result of a merger between Dalkey Mitchels and Cuala Casements in 1974.[2]
The club won consecutive All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championships in 2017 and 2018.[3]
The club replaced the Davy Group of stockbrokers as its jersey sponsor with biotech company Amgen in 2019 as part of a deal that attracted notice outside the area.[4][3] Huawei sponsors the hurlers.[5]
