Grab your jersey and settle in in front of the TV this Friday!
The annual GAA Special returns to The Late Late Show, packed with legends, laughter, live action and the unbeatable pride of the parish.
With a studio audience draped in jerseys from every corner of Ireland, this year’s show shines a spotlight on what makes the GAA truly special!
First on the couch is the Dublin GAA family dynasty. Patrick sits down with the four Brogans – Bernard Snr, Bernard Jnr, Alan, and Paul – for a rare chat.

Together, they look back on decades of Dublin glory, the sibling and intergenerational rivalry that shaped them and what it truly means to grow up in a home where football isn’t just a sport, but the family language.
Patrick is joined by some GAA legends who relive their top GAA moment of all time. Sport presenter and TV icon, Marty Morrissey and one of the greatest ladies’ footballers of all time, Cora Staunton, reminisce on their most cherished GAA memories – whether playing on the field or commentating from the stands.
Comedy sensation Conor Moore joins the fun with his hilarious impressions of well-known figures – players, managers, pundits – no one is safe!
Conor will also team up with podcast host Laurita Blewitt for a fast-paced GAA quiz that promises plenty of slagging and even more laughs.

Meanwhile, Jacqui Hurley broadcasts live from Croke Park, where two unsuspecting audience members will be whisked from the studio for a never-before-seen Late Late challenge under the stadium lights.
The heart of the GAA beats at club level, and at the heart of the club is the family. This year’s Late Late Show GAA Special honours four families representing four clubs who lifted All-Ireland titles last season. These young stars and their families share what victory means to their communities – and why GAA is more than just a game.
Ceol agus craic from a host of Ireland’s finest folk musicians, joined by Dublin singer-songwriter George Murphy.
