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!

Our Annual General Meeting and Indoor Sessions have been set!

Our annual general meeting has been set for January 25th at 4 PM. It will be held at our sponsor's bar, the Old Irish Social Club. We will be discussing our 2019 year in review with topics including; our financial reports, recruitment efforts, the 2019 Boston GAA season results, positives, negatives, and deciding our new 2020 Board for the Providence Hurling Club. Meet us there to get information on the club and our 2020 efforts and plans.

Last year, we began this new happening and it worked extremely well with great attendance and quality of hurling indoors during the cold months! We are booked for our indoor sessions at Won Sports in Seekonk, Massachusetts. We booked an hour and a half on the February Sundays of 9th, 16th, and 23rd between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM with the full field rented out to the Providence Hurling Club. Beginners welcome! Contact us for more information through Facebook or the contact forms on this website.

Excited to unveil the new jerseys for 2019! A million thanks to our new main sponsor: Big Red Barn. A top modular structure design & manufacturing company from County Mayo who are expanding their business to the USA with Rhode Island as their second home base! Proud to wear their logo on our backs.

Also, a mighty tip o' the cap to Old Irish Social Club: The Home of the Hurlers for drinks and mayhem after matches and practices! We are delighted to rep them on our sleeves!

The AMAZING progress we have created through five years of recruitment and hardwork!

After such a long journey, we have found five photos from our past five 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 five years because of our recruitment techniques and we think these photos prove it! If you want to join the greatest hurling club in Rhode Island and represent the club in next year's parade, fill out a contact form, drop us an e-mail or just follow our FaceBook page and just show up to a practice and commit!
