The Ladies' Gaelic Football Association, known as the LGFA and in Irish as Cumann Peil Gael na mBan, is the main governing body for ladies' Gaelic football. It was founded on 18 July 1974 at a meeting in Hayes' Hotel in Thurles, County Tipperary, with representatives from four counties, Offaly, Kerry, Tipperary and Galway, and it ran the first All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship in that same year. The Gaelic Athletic Association recognised it in 1982. Besides the senior championship it organises the intermediate, junior, under-18, under-16, under-14 and club All-Ireland championships, the Ladies' National Football League and the O'Connor Cup for universities, and it oversees the Ireland women's international rules team.
