Connacht GAA or formally the Connacht Provincial Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association is the governing body for Gaelic games that are played in the province of Connacht, Ireland. It performs a supervisory and appeal role for a number of County Boards within the province. These Boards are Galway GAA, Leitrim GAA, Mayo GAA, Roscommon GAA and Sligo GAA. Anomalously, it also exercises its functions for an additional two County Boards that are not located in the province: London GAA and New York GAA. Teams from these administrative areas play in the Connacht Senior Football Championship.

Hurling
There is currently no Connacht hurling championship but the Connacht GAA board has had Senior and Junior hurling championships in the past. The game is very strong in Galway but much weaker in the other four counties of the province. The Connact inter-provincial team usually consists of 14 or 15 Galway players and perhaps one or two from the other counties.
