    It's simple really. Just join a club, they will do training twice a week and play once a week.

    Just look up your closest one. Where exactly are you in Cork?

    The GAA and it's clubs, while making an effort to promote Irish culture, do not actually have a policy of accepting/rejecting members based on their race :P

    Most communities/towns/villages will have their own club, and there are maybe 15-20 odd clubs in or around Cork City.

    Here's one club I know of in Cork city; http://www.nicksgaa.com/ https://twitter.com/nicksgaa

    Saint Nicks, in Blackpool I think.

    Do you mind if I ask for a specific area of Cork City you're from? I'm not being nosey, just want to try and pinpoint the club that is nearest you :)

    Haven't lived in Cork for a while but I'm fairly sure that's not far from Patrick St, so you're right in the heart of the city centre!

    Bishopstown GAA club (here;http://www.bishopstowngaa.com/) and St.Finbarrs kind of close by I think, there's also Douglas and Nemo Rangers, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
