RT today launched its 2025 GAA Championships coverage with a powerful film that gets to the heart and soul of Ireland's passionate and enduring relationship with our national games.

RT remains uniquely privileged to capture and transmit those moments across our platforms and as with each passing year we hope for a dynamic thrilling and enthralling spectacle across all codes.
