Registration Guide
2021 Club Registration Guide.
As we look forward to the return to play of juvenile teams from the 26th of April and await guidance with regards to return for adult teams, we are inviting all members to register for the upcoming season. It is important from an insurance perspective members’ are registered before returning to play.
Introducing Foireann
Foireann is the new system for registering players for the 2021 season. It is an online tool allowing members to manage their membership (registration), club communications, health questionnaires and training schedules from one location.
For members using “return to play” to complete Covid Health Questionnaires for you, or your family, throughout 2020 then you may already be familiar with the tool and have a Foireann account setup. Members who do should go to www.foireann.ie and login as normal. Click on membership and register using the option that suits you. For family membership use the guide below to ‘add a family’
If you have never completed a return to play health questionnaire, then you probably don’t have a Foireann account. Use this guide to help create your account, add a family and complete membership registration.

- Once selected you will be asked to select which member, family member, you would like added to the membership option, whether they are a playing or non-playing member and which association GAA or LGFA. We recommend to default to GAA unless you are a playing member of An Tóchar LGFA or G4MO.
- The next page will give you a summary of the details you have entered, and you will be asked to confirm you have read the code of conduct.
- Final step in the process is completing registration by paying your relevant membership fees. To do so you will be directed to a secure payment page where you should enter you payment details.

At this point it is important thatyou go in and edit any additional details such adding your child’s date of birth , medical allergies, and club consent etc. This is important as when additional functionality is rolled out this will be used to assign a team to them.
- To add an additional parent/guardian, you will be asked to invite them to the family. Once done this additional parent/guardian will receive an email asking them to setup a Foireann account (profile). This additional parent/guardian should complete the setup in the same way as outlined earlier in this guide under the section “create a Foireann account”.

- It is important you fully complete setup, point 6 and 7 above, of the additional parent/guardian as not doing so will restrict registration later in the guide.
- This now completes the family setup, and members at this point should return to the “registration process” section of this guide to complete the process
