HISTORY

Year Founded: In 2004, the “Brussels Hurling Club” was founded to field a hurling team in the nascent county championships. In 2007, the club was renamed the “Brussels Hurling and Camogie Club’ to officially recognize camogie as a code. At the 2008 AGM, the name was again changed to Belgium GAA, in order to reflect the decision to play in all four codes.
