UCD GAA or University College Dublin Gaelic Athletic Association club is a Dublin based Gaelic games club in University College Dublin. The UCD hurling club was founded in 1900 and boasted the motto's "Ad Astra" and "Cothrom Féinne". The first team was an amalgamation of students from UCD and Cecilia St. Although UCD had been playing Gaelic football unofficially since 1900, the official club history began in the season of 1911/1912.

The football club competes in the Sigerson Cup and Higher Education Leagues as well as in the Dublin Senior Football Championship (controversially) and the O'Byrne Cup. The hurling club competes in the Fitzgibbon Cup and Higher Education Leagues and occasionally in the Dublin Senior Hurling Championship and the Walsh Cup. The camogie club competes in the Ashbourne Cup.

Former Dublin great Brian Mullins is the director of sport at UCD.^[1] Dave Billings is currently in charge of all Gaelic games on the UCD campus.^[2]
