GAA Injury Fund

A chara, 

Please see below important update in relation to 2024 GAA Player Injury Fund and the importance of registering your players on Foireann. 

Every GAA player should be formally reregistered on the GAA Foireann system in 2024 prior to commencing training or playing matches in 2024 to be fully covered under the GAA’s Player Injury Fund for 2024.

A player’s registration on Foireann should be completed by their club prior to that player playing their first 2024 match or attending a training session for cover to be fully applicable for that or subsequent match or training sessions

A player will only be covered under the “GAA Player Injury Scheme” from the first date of their 2024 registration forward and will not be covered for injuries sustained prior to their 2024 Foireann registration date. This is how the Injury Find scheme has been administered for the past number of years and these rules will continue to be applicable again for 2024.

The following are examples of where GAA Injury Fund cover is applicable and where it is not:

• Cover is not available:
• If a player played a match or trained on Saturday 27^th January 2024 and was “not 2024 registered” on “Foireann” prior to this date – cover under the GAA Player Injury Fund will not be applicable if that player sustained an Injury playing on that day.

• Cover is available:
• If a player played a match or Saturday 27^th January and had been “2024 registered” on Foireann on the 26^th January - full Injury cover will be available to that player from 26^th January up until 31^st December 2024.
