The Irish American Alliance has been in existence since 1990. We currently have approximately three hundred active members, primarily from the Chicago area, particularly the South Side and the South Suburbs. Our club is a non-profit social club and we have an affiliated Charitable Corporation. The Charitable Corporation has engaged in a number of charitable activities through the years, and is holding a fund for the establishment of an Irish American Retirement Home. The retirement home project has moved in “fits and starts” through the years and is presently classified as a “long term goal”. We hold monthly meetings for Officers and Trustees, and quartly meetings for Members. Membership also includes our quarterly newsletter. The club sponsors activities and events which interest our members.
The Gaelic Athletic Association of Chicago is steeped in history and tradition. Established over 125 years ago, Chicago GAA is a staple of the Irish community of the Greater Chicagoland area. With Chicago Gaelic Park as the epicenter of the Irish cultural activities in Chicago, the GAA clubs of Chicagoland have a permanent home in which to play Hurling, Gaelic Football and Camogie, and continue the traditions passed down through generations.

Way back in the Spring of 1992 a handful of like-minded individuals on Chicago’s South Side gathered together with the idea of forming an Irish Theatre Group, where everybody could work in the performing arts and have fun doing so at Gaelic Park. Our hope was to present the best in Irish culture and tradition to the community surrounding Gaelic Park and indeed to Chicago at large, in the shape of Irish drama and comedy. We called ourselves Gaelic Park Players.
