Gaelic games are the traditional Irish sports of Gaelic football, ladies' Gaelic football, hurling, camogie, Gaelic handball and rounders. This article gives an overview of Gaelic games in County Kildare. County symbols Kildare traditionally used the county arms featuring oak trees, acorns and a lily; this was replaced by a blue Saint Brigit cross on a green circle in 2005, so that this symbol could be copyrighted. The all-white strip was originally worn by Clane, and when won the 1905 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship wearing the Clane colours, it was decided to adopt it permanently. Kildare is thus the only county to have only one county colour. Gaelic football Gaelic football in County Kildare is overseen by the Kildare County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association.
