Some Wikipedians formed a project to better organise articles relevant to Gaelic games. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians.
If you have any questions about the project, please enquire on the talk page.
If you would like to help, see the tasks section below. Advice on sources is available.
For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Louth–Meath Gaelic football rivalry, mentioned in the Meath team article, but needs sources: "During this period, Meath had a Leinster Senior Football Championship (SFC) rivalry with Louth: in the six editions of that competition held between 1948 and 1953 the teams met each year. 1950 and 1951 were both settled after a replay, while the 1949 match required three games to separate the sides." See also: 2010 Leinster Senior Football Championship final and 2025 Leinster Senior Football Championship#Final. Add to Template:Tl.
Wicklow's manager Jonathan O'Neill (hurler) played senior inter-county hurling until he was 43.
Longford's only National Football League title win is from 1965–66, with Mick Higgins as manager. Complete entries for the missing players. Template:Flatlist
Newcomer tasks
The following should not be too difficult to accomplish for newcomers to Wikipedia or to this project.
- Biography
- If you would like to begin a new biography, but are still unsure which are notable, you can help by creating the following missing football All Stars:
- Note that some of these players may have pages already created under a different title. If this is the case, the template for that year's All Stars (Template:XXXX All Stars) needs to be altered to reflect the correct article name. See here for details on the layout of a typical player biography.

- Babs Keating redirect
- Gaelic Athletic Association template redirect
- Camogie template redirect

Problems to solve
- Brendan O'Leary is described as playing for Wexford, but pictured playing for Kerry?
- {{Wexford NHL Team 1956}} has Jim Morrissey as number 7 and number 8. Is one of them supposed to be Mick? It is unclear which number should be changed.
- 1932 All-Ireland SFC final: "Kerry's Eamonn Fitzgerald missed the game as he was competing in the 1932 Summer Olympics". There is no mention in his biography of the athlete playing for Kerry. There are also red links to an Éamonn Fitzgerald (1930s Gaelic footballer) from the same period at {{Kerry Football Team 1930}}, {{Kerry Football Team 1931}}, {{Kerry NFL Football Team 1930}}, {{Kerry NFL Football Team 1931}}
- Is it "Whel e han" or Whel a han"? Simon moved from "a" to "e" in 2012. Brian moved from "e" to "a" in 2014 after a talk page request. Pad Joe has an "e" in its title and an "a" throughout the article.
- The template for London's only All-Ireland SHC title was deleted in January 2025.
- Template:Tl was deleted in March 2025 because it had no article link. It was established at the TfD for Template:Tl that an article link existed but that it had not been included on the template.
