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 first major happening of 2019 for the Providence Hurling Club was a success!

The Providence Hurling Club held its Annual General Meeting on January 27.  We voted in a new board, which ended up in resulting in keeping the same exact board from 2018 but with the new addition of Michael Walsh as Youth Development Officer. He will be looking to start up some youth programs for the club and the potential success of starting Providence Youth GAA teams. If you have a son or daughter that may be interested in playing hurling be sure to send an e-mail to pvdhurling.youthdevelopment@gmail.com ! Since our AGM in January, the Providence Hurling Club have held a few successful indoor training sessions at Won Sports Inc. Training Facilities in Seekonk, Massachusetts. We have also had the opportunity to run in the Pawtucket 5k and Providence 5k for St. Patrick's Day festivities. Be on the lookout for more events that the hurling club will be taking part in throughout the coming months! We are also in the process of creating hurling schedules for the upcoming seasons so be looking out for that on our schedule page!

We have found so many amazing players over the past five years because of our recruitment techniques and we think these photos prove it!
