The National Collegiate Gaelic Athletic Association is a non-profit organization that oversees hurling and Gaelic football sports for universities in North America. Since beginning in 2011, the NCGAA has grown to over 27 active clubs across the United States and Canada.
The first ever U.S. NCGAA hurling championship took place in 2011. In 2014, a second lower division of the championship, known as the Shield, was introduced. The NCGAA expanded to include Gaelic football in 2022.
