Fee structure for 2026 was approved by members at the AGM on 28th November 2025.

Academy Subscription Rates

1st year Academy Subscription Rates Available to those born between 1/1/2020 and 31/12/2020. Children born earlier should contact the Academy in Cuala to discuss joining the Academy. Accompanying Adult (Parent/Guardian etc) is registered at no additional charge and automatically becomes a Social Member of Cuala.

Juvenile Subscription and Family membership

Juvenile Subscription and Family membership Available to those born between 1/1/2019 and 31/12/2008. One Full Adult Membership must be purchased with a Juvenile membership. This full adult membership enables full participation in Cuala actives such as committees, coaching, Flo, etc.

If an Adult member wishes to play either Social sports (Cuala for Mothers & Others / Hurling for Dads), or train and play for the adult football, camogie or hurling teams they can be included in Family membership as players. All other players availing of Family membership must be in full time education.

Members are responsible for entering and maintaining their own details correctly and completely. Of particular importance is the need to provide accurate details in relation to the Player Injury Scheme – especially Date of Birth and that the member is registered under the correct subscription type.

Money tendered by anyone who is not already a member of the club will be accepted and treated as a donation – pending their Application for Membership being processed. On admission as a Member, any sums previously paid will be credited against Annual Subscription due.

Payment of membership subscriptions is subject to:

FAQ’s / Ceisteanna Coitianta

The new Fee structure for 2026 was approved by members at the AGM on 28th November 2025.

The aim of the reorganisation was to consolidate and simplify membership rates and support the voluntary operations of the club.

Some of the advantages of the new structure include facilitating and supporting volunteering, simplifying family membership bundles by using a ‘shopping basket’ of membership options with bundle rates applied automatically, and ensuring adequate funding streams to support club activities.

Cuala relies almost entirely on the volunteering of our members to run the club and organise and train all of our juvenile teams. Mandatory registration of one adult with a juvenile player (or juvenile players in a family) facilitates volunteering by parents/guardians to ensure that we can continue to run our club and train our juvenile teams.

Membership fees for Cuala GAA are known to be higher than rural GAA clubs. However, unlike other clubs who own their pitches, we need to hire pitches to cater to the training and playing requirements of our large urban membership. Therefore our fees reflect these higher costs incurred. 

As part of the new fee structure introduced in 2026 you now have the option to choose the number of adults in the family bundles which facilitates a single parent family.

The Student membership option was removed in the reorganisation and simplification of the fee structure in 2026. This change has had no impact as the Student membership was the same price as an Adult player previously. Students now select the Adult membership option for the same price.

The “non playing social member” option was removed as part of the reorganisation and simplification of the membership structure for 2026. 

The Hurling for Dads and Gaelic for Mothers and Others rate is also a social membership. So a member wishing to avail of a social membership has an option to pay €180 for adult non playing member or €140 for social member under H4D/G4M (prices include the levy).

The Development Levy was put in place following a motion approved at the 2019 Club AGM and this policy will continue in 2026.

All funds collected from the development levy are ring-fenced for vital development purposes and are not used for day-to-day expenditure or any other purpose. The development levy is €30 for a single Adult member or player and €50 for all family bundles and is now included in the initial calculation of the fee on Clubforce.

Subscription payment for new and renewing members can, when membership opens, be made in five instalments. Four instalments are available from February and three from March. Thereafter payment must be paid in full until membership opens again for the following year.

Players cannot be registered with the National Governing Associations (GAA, LGFA, Camogie Assocation) until their subscriptions are paid. Unregistered members are not covered by ‘Player Injury Schemes’ and Cuala will not allow them to coach, train with or play for the club.
