Cambridge University Gaelic Athletic Club (CUGAC) is the Cambridge University Gaelic Athletic Association club. It incorporates both Men's and Ladies' Gaelic Football and, as of March 2006, Hurling.

History

The club was founded in 1995 by Declan Garvey from Armagh and Ciaran McMullan, Magherafelt, Co. Derry and the club played its first Varsity match in the following Spring. However it should be noted that GAA and Cambridge University are connected right back to the Association's earliest days. Charles Stewart Parnell, the famous Irish politician and patron of the GAA, did his undergraduate studies at Magdalene College in the 1860's.

Since then the football team has gone on to compete in the Southern section of the British Universities GAA league and in the BUSA Championships proper. The club has enjoyed several varsity victories against the dark blues of Oxford.

In 2005 the first Ladies' Gaelic Football team was first organised by Aveen Kelly from Lurgan in Armagh. While Westmeathman Maurice Fallon started Hurling in the University in 2006.
