The structure of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is a voluntary, democratic association consisting of various boards, councils, and committees organised in a structured hierarchy. The individual club is the basic unit of the association,[1][2][3][4] and the world headquarters are at Croke Park. All of the GAA's activities are governed by a book called the Official Guide.
