USGAA is the governing body responsible for promoting the sports of Hurling and Gaelic Football in the United States (except NYC) with 5388 affiliated members. Clubs participate in games throughout all 12 months of the year in local competition, city leagues, regional tournaments and the USGAA Finals. Clubs are organized regionally by Division and some Divisions hold Championship competitions to determine who qualifies for a place at the USGAA Finals. The 10 Divisions are Northwest, Western, Southwest, Central, Heartland, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Philadelphia, Northeast and Southeast. The USGAA supports development at youth level to promote more grassroots development and create future USGAA stars. As well as local games and events some USGAA youth clubs take part in the Continental Youth Championship (CYC), a major tournament held in July and contested by teams from all over the United States and Canada.
