Founded in 1979 by five Irish emigrants who met every Sunday at the Christian Brothers of St Patrick’s in Huntington Beach, the Wild Geese have been Orange County’s home of Gaelic football for more than four decades.
Today our panel brings together players from counties all over Ireland — Donegal, Galway, Clare, Kerry, Cork, Dublin, Leitrim and Tyrone — alongside teammates from the United States, Jordan, Australia and Mexico. Whether you grew up with a football in your hands in Ireland or have never seen the game before, there’s a place for you on the field and in the clubhouse.
No experience needed. Many Americans pick up the game in a single season.
Basic skill training is provided at every session — solo, handpass, kicking and catching.
An enjoyable, healthy experience: real fitness, real competition, zero gym membership.
Dinner dances, golf days and match-day socials — the Irish community in OC.
