Player Injury Fund

The GAA Injury Benefit Fund is a Self-funded benefit fund funded entirely from GAA funds with no outside involvement. 

Each player needs to ensure that they have adequate cover in place to meet their own individual needs and personal circumstances. The GAA Injury Benefit Fund is only in place to cover benefits which cannot be claimed elsewhere and is a benefit cover only.

In summary, the GAA Injury Benefit Fund is in place to cover benefits which cannot be claimed
elsewhere. Therefore, if a claimant is seeking to claim benefit from the fund, they must exhaust all other avenues before making a claim under the GAA Injury Benefit Fund.

All Claims will be subject to rigorous scrutiny – please ensure the following:

  • player must be registered on the GAA Injury Fund (this is date/time stamped)

  • Secretary must sign declaration
  • County Board must sign declaration
  • Official letter signed by secretary must be provided
  • All required documents must be completed in full
  • claim must be submitted within the 60-day deadline
