The following article will provide you with relevant information on how to pay the LGFA annual levy.

At the beginning of every year, clubs within the LGFA association are expected to pay the following levy:

• All Ireland Levy - €150

This Levy must be paid before you can register any members on Foireann.

NOTE: In 2023, there will be no Public Liability fee incurred by clubs due to the receipt of a grant from the Covid-19 Club Resilience Fund which fully covers the Public Liability charge for the year. In 2024, due to the remaining grant money, the Public Liability fee will remain reduced at €150 and will return to the full amount of €250 in 2025.

NOTE: You will still have access to the Foireann system and members will still be able to register with your club however in order to fully register your members with the LGFA association, you will be required to pay these levies.

The Foireann system will prompt you if the annual levy has not been paid when you attempt to pay the registration fees for your members.
