GAA Handball Ireland (Irish: Liathróid Láimhe C.L.G. na hÉireann) is the governing body for the sport of Gaelic handball in all of its codes in Ireland. Handball is one of the four Gaelic games organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association.

Its headquarters is located in Croke Park, Dublin. There are approximately 200 handball clubs in Ireland.[1]

The national committee of GAA Handball is Ard Comhairle (the central council) on which the president sits as chairperson. As in the parent organisation, the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), the president is elected every three years. Joe Masterson held the role of President from 2017-2020.[2] Dessie Keegan then took over from Masterson and served as President of the organisation from 2020-2023.[3] Conor McDonnell took over from Keegan in February 2023 and will serve as president until 2026.[4] Tom Moloney, who was appointed in an interim capacity in January 2022,[5] was succeeded by David Britton as manager in Autumn 2022.[6]
