The Louth County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Coiste Chontae an Lú) or Louth GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in County Louth.
It over sees competitions such as the Louth Senior Football Championship (SFC), Louth Intermediate Football Championship (IFC) and Louth Junior Football Championship (JFC), in which clubs compete to determine which of them are top dog.
The county board is also responsible for the Louth county teams. The county football team won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC) in 1910, 1912 and again in 1957, so it can lay claim to as many titles as Mayo (although Mayo took a good few decades longer to get going and are content enough with the three, judging by recent efforts).
