The New York county football team represents the New York metropolitan area in men's Gaelic football and is governed by New York GAA, the County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association. The team competes in three of the four major annual inter-county competitions; the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, Tailteann Cup and the Connacht Senior Football Championship; it does not currently compete in the National Football League.
New York's home ground is Gaelic Park, New York City. The team's manager is Johnny McGeeney.
New York last won the National League in 1967 and has never won the All-Ireland Senior Championship.
In the 2022 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship Semi-Final, New York beat Warwickshire on a score of 1-8 to 0-6 in Abbotstown, which marked their first win on Irish soil.
