GAA USA | Dé Céadaoin | 9.30pm TG4

Sraith ina rachaidh Dara Ó Cinnéide ar fud Mheiriceá le stair Chumann Lúthchleas Gael sa tír sin a fhiosrú. Fiosróidh sé stair na gcluichí gaelacha i Meiriceá le linn tréimhse a raibh go leor Éireannach imithe ar imirce go dtí an tír sin tar éis an Ghorta Mhóir. Is léir go ndearna na Meiriceánaigh gach iarracht stop a chur le himirt na gcluichí i measc na nGael. Tháinig borradh faoi na cluichí sna cathracha móra, San Francisco agus Nua-Eabhrac ina measc. Ach bhí tionchar mór ag an gCéad Chogadh Domhanda ar an CLG mar go ndeachaigh na mílte fear Gael-Mheiriceánach ag troid san Eoraip.

Go Meiriceá Siar: Dara Ó Cinnéide travels across America and uncovers the untold story of the GAA Stateside. In the first episode Dara looks back at the history of GAA matches in America, where many Irish went in search of a better life after the famine here at home. It is evident that proponents of American basketball and football made every effort to stop the Irish playing their own games. However, it became a strong part of the culture in big cities from San Francisco to New York. The start of World War I had a huge effect on the GAA in America as many Irish joined the army forces to fight in the war.
