UCD GAA or University College Dublin Gaelic Athletic Association club is a Dublin based Gaelic Games club in University College Dublin. The UCD hurling club was founded in 1900 and boasted the motto "Comthrom feinne and ad astra." The first team was an amalgamation of students from UCD and Cecilia St. Although, UCD had been playing football unofficially since 1900, and the official club history began in the 1911/1912 season.

Former Dublin great Brian Mullins is the director of sport at UCD ^[1]
