Dominant sport: Gaelic football

Victoria GAA (VGAA) is the ruling body for Gaelic football and Hurling in the Australian state of Victoria and was established in 1975. The VGAA is affiliated to the Australasia GAA.

The VGAA runs both Men's and Women's Football matches over the summer at Gaelic Park in Melbourne. The competition was previously played over winter, however clashes with other sports deemed it necessary to move to a summer competition to attract more players.

State Representative Teams are sent to the Australasian Championships every year with Men's senior and Minors and Women's Teams competing.
