2001 North American Playoffs

Golden Gate Park - San Francisco

The Polo Fields in San Francisco's famous Golden Gate Park was the venue for the 52nd North American County Board play-offs. Four playing fields were used to cater to the 60 game schedule which included 36 adult and 24 youth games. The tournament attracted approximately 1,500 out of town Gaelic sports enthusiasts from sixteen cities around the country. Also in attendance from Ireland was Sean McCague, President of the GAA and Sean Kelly former Munster Council Chairman and now Chairman of the GAA International Dimension Committee. Unfortunately, Sean McCague's attendance was cut short after receiving the sad news of his mothers death on Sunday morning. Also over from Ireland were the two senior referees, Seamus McCormack (Meath) and Seanie McMahon (Clare).
