Orang Éire is a GAA Club based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is Malaysia's first Gaelic Football Club and takes its name from the Bahasa word for 'people' and the Irish word for 'Ireland'. The club is made up of talented athletes from Ireland, Malaysia, Australia, Scotland, Canada, the US and many other countries. The club was formed in March 2007 and currently has 2 men's teams, a ladies team and a kids team. The club is open to all who are interested; be it players, fit or unfit, helpers, trainers, referees or just those who wish to take part in the more social aspect. We have several training sessions a week, the men train on Tuesday's, Thursdays & Saturdays while the ladies train on Tuesday's, Saturday's & Sundays, the kids train on Sunday mornings. For information on getting involved click on the Training link above or contact us at malaysiagaa@gmail.com or why not join our facebook page by clicking here


We have a vibrant social scene with frequent get togethers. It's a great way to make friends for newcomers to KL and a great way for old timers here to get some young blood back into them.


On the weekend of the 25th and 26th of September, Orang Éire will be joining 16 other clubs (making up almost 60 teams) from all over Asia in travelling to the 2010 Asian Gaelic Games in Hong Kong. With 2 mens teams, two ladies teams, 1 kids team and a strong support, Orang Éire have 65 people confirmed to travel to Hong Kong for what should be a great weekend of Football, Hurling and craic!
