Our History

Formed in March 2007, the Hurling Club of Madison seeks to promote the ancient Irish sport of hurling in the city of Madison and the surrounding areas. We've done well, despite being a small club, of establishing relationships with other Irish sporting clubs and organizations.

At the end of our second year, we established the Midwest Hurling Tournament as one last opportunity for regional clubs to play competitive matches before the cold of winter takes over. The Midwest Hurling Tournament has been a staple in our schedule every year since providing great competition for all the clubs involved.

We established a summer hurling league in 2009. We've continued that tradition to the present and hope to expand upon the number of teams involved.

2010 was the first year our club affiliated with the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and participated in the North American County Board Championship tournament. We played well and it was a great experience overall for the club's development.

In the winter of 2011, we were able to cure some of the cabin fever that comes along with the season by establishing an indoor winter hurling league. This competition gave us an opportunity to run around a bit and keep our skills sharp for the regular summer season. It was great fun and competitive for all teams involved.

We look forward to continuing the development of the sport of hurling in our area for years to come!
