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. Featuring Se n Maoilchiar in the first Galway senior footballer from the Aran Islands the film was shot on Inis M r, at Kilmurvey beach and Kilronan ball alley, and showcases international landmarks such as the world-famous D n Aonghusa.

With fierce rivalries set to reignite, unforgettable moments waiting to unfold, and every county dreaming of glory, the 2025 GAA Championships promises to be unmissable and RT has every moment covered whether you're at home or on the go, RT , Ireland's National Public Service media, remains the only broadcaster in Ireland with GAA coverage on all platforms.

Declan McBennett, Group Head of Sport, RT , said: The sense of championship' remains unique in the Irish sporting psyche. Whether it's to Clones, Semple, the Hyde or ultimately Croke Park dreams are made and crushed in the heat of a Championship battle. 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.
