Munster GAA is delighted to announce the launch of the 2026 Club Development Grants Scheme, with applications opening on 24th July 2026, providing clubs across the province with a significant opportunity to invest in their future and further enhance facilities at the heart of their communities.
The €1.5 million scheme funded through a partnership between Central Council and Munster GAA and supports a wide range of club development initiatives.
Under the scheme, clubs can apply for support across a broad range of categories including land acquisition, changing rooms, gym developments, handball facilities, pitch development, floodlighting, hurling walls, spectator facilities, accessibility improvements and property ownership regularisation.
The programme forms part of Munster GAA’s continued commitment to supporting clubs in delivering high-quality facilities that encourage participation, strengthen communities and provide lasting benefits for generations of players, members and supporters.
Munster GAA Chairperson, Tim Murphy welcomed the opening of the scheme and encouraged clubs throughout the province to explore the opportunities available.
“Our clubs are at the heart of every community across Munster, and the Club Development Grants Scheme is designed to help them realise their ambitions. Whether a club is planning a major infrastructure project or enhancing existing facilities, this scheme provides practical support to help turn those plans into reality.

The scheme aims to support projects that deliver long-term benefits while increasing opportunities for participation in Gaelic Games.
