Coláiste na bhFiann (CnabhF) is an Irish language summer course for students aged 10–18 years. The first course was started in Rosmuc, Co. Galway with sixty students in 1968. Since then, fifty thousand students have been through its doors. Some courses are college based and others are based in the Gaeltacht areas of Rosmuc, Co. Galway and Ráth Cairn, Co. Meath. Most courses are three week residential courses in which students are immersed in an Irish speaking environment. It teaches the Irish language as living breathing spoken language not just as a school subject. During these courses students attend classes and take part in various activities, games, arts, crafts and sport. As Ireland's longest established course organiser several other courses have been founded on the same model.

In 1970 Cumann na bhFiann was founded to provide weekly youth clubs and to give students the opportunity to practice the language skills acquired on the summer courses, today there are fifty clubs nationwide.
