Welcome to the Providence Hurling Club

Hurling is the national sport of Ireland and is widely regarded as "the fastest game on grass." It is also said to be the fastest growing sport throughout the world. Over fifty cities have hurling clubs throughout the U.S. The Providence Hurling Club, aka PVD HC, established in 2015, is a proud member of the Boston/Northeast Division of the US Gaelic Athletic Association. We are dedicated to help spread the word about this fantastic game and growing the sport throughout Rhode Island!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

​The Providence Hurling Club is sponsored by the Irish Rose Sports Pub! Formerly known as Stout Irish Sports Pub, Irish Rose is located at 50 Exchange Terrace, right in the heart of Providence, Rhode Island! Join us here after home matches or even after training sessions and have a few pints with us! Great food, great atmosphere and great service!

We have not forgotten where we started though! Patrick's Pub and Patrick Griffin has been affiliated with the Providence Hurling Club since day one of our organization. We held multiple fundraisers and took part in other events and festivities at Patrick's Pub. Many great relationships and laughs were made at Patrick's through the Providence Hurling Club. We look forward to continuing the relationship with Pat and his establishment.
Alright PVD Hurling fans, we faced the Portland Hurling Club in the wild-card match up and the Providence Hurling Club won! Final score was 03-09 (POR) to 03-10 (PVD)! It was a sloppy match on a wet and rainy day in Canton Massachusetts. It was a very hard-fought battle against Portland and we just want to thank Portland for always showing up and playing so competitively against the Providence Hurling Club. It is always a pleasure competing against them!

Now, on to new business. The Providence Hurling Club, since after winning the wild-card match against Portland, has secured the third place seed which has us going to the semi-final match against the Wolves Hurling Club on Saturday August 18th! 

​As of now we have the semi-final match scheduled for...

When: August 18th @ 3 PM
Where: Irish Cultural Center, 200 New Boston Dr, Canton, MA 02021

We need all the friends, families, and support we can get at the match to support the Providence Hurling Club! Be there and then join us afterwards for food and beverages!

After such a long journey, we have found four photos from our past four Providence Saint Patrick's Parades that show how much growth the Providence Hurling Club has gained. We have found so many amazing players over the past four years because of our recruitment techniques and we think these photos prove it!
