Although Gaelic Football is among the most popular participatory sports in Ireland, research within the club context, particularly investigating the effect of technology on individuals and teams is currently lacking.

Transcripts of these interviews were analysed thematically and six key themes emerged. Technology use was found to have many benefits from a team perspective but also carried potential risks for individuals, with implications for coaches and teams intending to use technology discussed.
