Champions were crowned and emotions ran high as the San Francisco GAA community gathered at Páirc na nGael for an unforgettable day of St. Patrick’s Cup Finals action.

San Francisco GAA has announced its June Championship Cup schedule, featuring Junior and Senior Football, Junior and Senior Hurling, and Ladies Gaelic Football at Páirc na nGael on Treasure Island.

Week 5 of the St. Patrick’s Cup brought another full Sunday of Gaelic games to Páirc na nGael, featuring matchups between Clan na Gael and Fog City Harps, Tipperary and Pearse Óg, Ulster and Sean Treacys, and Éire Óg and the Young Irelanders on Treasure Island.

If you're Irish or of Irish descent, you belong in the Bay Area. It was the Irish who helped to build it. Long before the Golden Gate Bridge rose from the fog, long before the cable cars climbed the hills, long before San Francisco became a byword for ambition, culture, and possibility; Irish men and women were here. Shaped by the Great Hunger and hardship, they poured their heritage into the city's foundations. Their names are etched into the geography of San Francisco itself. The city we love today is, in no small part, an Irish creation.

Week 4 of the St. Patrick’s Cup featured a full afternoon of hurling and football at Páirc na nGael on Treasure Island, including matches between Na Fianna and St. Joseph’s, Tipperary and Sacramento Kavanagh’s, Joseph Mary Plunketts and Pearse Óg, and Sean Treacy’s against the Young Irelanders.

Na Fianna and Tipperary set aside a rivalry built at Páirc na nGael to form one side. Weeks later, they were standing level with New York.

Upgraded, more durable, and more dazzling than ever, they'll light up the gateway to our home ground once again.
