Overview

Once a transfer application has been granted by the LGFA centrally or provincially, a few steps must be taken before a Transfer becomes effective. 

For all other applications such as permits, the Secretary of the Club you wish to join will guide you on what needs to happen before you can play. 

The following article outlines how an admin for the joining Club and/or joining County can complete the transfer application within the LGFA Association.

While the guide below deals with an Inter-Club transfer, the information listed throughout the application process on Foireann should help guide you for any other transfers or permits relevant to the association. 

IMPORTANT: It is vitally important to familiarise yourself with the relevant processes and rules to ensure your eligibility to play with your new Club. Players who play while ineligible face severe penalties.
