The GAA Launches New Digital Archive with support from the BAI
12 February 2019; The GAA, in conjunction with the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, today launched the GAA Digital Archive at Croke Park providing free access to past GAA matches to internet users around the world. 113 All-Ireland finals since 1961 are included in the archive and provincial finals from 1961 also feature. The new archive also includes All-Ireland club finals since 1989. In all, over 500 football and hurling matches were retrieved from broadcasters and information such as date, result, venue, referee, scorers and teams and substitutions was added. The establishment of the archive, which received financial backing from the BAI, means that for the first time the GAA has a central repository of the majority of finals that were recorded and broadcast over the last six decades.
