===County team===
Scotland fields a representative county team in the All-Britain Junior Football Championship. 2014 was a breakthrough year for the team as they lifted the All-Britain Junior title for the first time. The team had only ever made the final once before back in 2006, but lost the final, in extra-time, to Warwickshire. On the way to the title they beat [[YorkshireGAA|Yorkshire]] and [[KilkennyGAA|Kilkenny]] before beating Warwickshire in the final to a scoreline of 3-10 to 2-07.
This set up an All-Ireland Junior Semi-final with [[Cavan GAA|Cavan]]. However they were defeated on the day to a scoreline of 1-17 to 0-06. Most recently the Scotland Men won the All-Britain title in 2019 against a tough Warwickshire team. They went on to contest the All-Ireland Quarter Final versus [[Kerry GAA|Kerry]].

2015 became a momentous year for the Scotland ladies team as they reached the All-Ireland Junior Final to be played at Croke Park. They beat [[Derry GAA|Derry]] with a score line of 1-13 to 2-05 at Fingallians GAA ground. They played a tough game against [[Louth GAA|Louth]] at Croke Park on 27 September 2015.

==Hurling==
In 1905, [[Lancashire GAA|Lancashire]] and Glasgow entered the [[All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship]] at the quarter-final stage.<ref>{{cite magazine|date=25 January 2017|title=Kilkenny's search for three-in-a-rows|url=http://www.hoganstand.com/article/index/100480|magazine=Hogan Stand|access-date=1 September 2008}}</ref> [[Lancashire GAA|Lancashire]] returned for one more championship campaign in 1913, whilst Glasgow returned for the 1910 and 1913 championships. In 2019, [[Craigend, Glasgow|Ceann Creige]] Hurling and Camogie Club, based in the [[Craigend, Glasgow|Craigend]] neighbourhood of Glasgow, was formed. They have teams of all ages in hurling and camogie, ranging from minor to senior level. The Ceann Creige senior hurling team compete in the [[Lancashire GAA|Lancashire Hurling League]] and the [[British GAA|All Britain Hurling Shield]]. 

In 2023, Ceann Creige made history by winning both the Lancashire Senior Hurling League and Lancashire Senior Hurling Championship. They went on to contest the All Britain Junior Hurling Semi Final against Sean Treacys of London, but came up short on a scoreline of 3-16 (25) to 2-14 (20).
