Find Insurance NI launches first-of-its-kind GAA Personal Accident Insurance
The policy, developed in partnership with Aviva, provides comprehensive cover for players, helping clubs manage the financial impact of serious injuries and ensuring injured members can access prompt treatment and rehabilitation through a straightforward claims process.
POLICY across UlsterFind Insurance NI, a leading commercial insurance broker with more than 50 years of experience supporting businesses across Northern Ireland, has announced the launch of a dedicated GAA Personal Accident Insurance policy for clubs and counties across Ulster.
Marking a historic milestone for Gaelic Games, this initiative represents the first insurance policy of its kind tailored specifically to the regional needs of local Gaelic games organisations, covering all GAA sports for both male and female, adult and youth players.
Following its landmark partnership as the first-ever stadium naming rights partner of Derry GAA, Find Insurance has worked alongside Aviva to develop a specialist policy designed to provide financial protection when an accidental injury occurs during official training sessions or match play.
The policy offers comprehensive cover for players, helping clubs manage the financial impact of serious injuries while ensuring injured members can access prompt treatment and rehabilitation through a straightforward claims process. In addition, pre-existing conditions are not excluded, offering clubs complete pre-existing condition cover.
Colin Mullan, Managing Director at Find Insurance NI, said: “At Find Insurance, we are passionate about supporting organisations that inspire ambition, promote wellbeing, and strengthen communities.
“As Treasurer of my own local GAA club and having been involved in the association for more than 40 years, I have seen first- hand the financial challenges clubs can face when players require extensive medical treatment or surgery following an injury. Introducing the first policy of its kind is a huge moment for Gaelic games across the region.
“Working in partnership with Aviva, we have developed a Personal Accident Insurance policy with 0% direct debit available designed to alleviate that burden.
“Crucially, this policy covers all GAA sports for both male and female, adult and juvenile members, and pre existing conditions are not excluded. The policy provides financial protection, access to prompt, high-quality treatment, reduced waiting times, upfront payment of eligible medical expenses, and a straightforward claims process.
“Ultimately, our goal is to help injured players recover quickly and return to the game they love, regardless of the level at which they play.”
Stephen Barker, Operations Manager from Derry GAA, commented: “We recently switched to Find Insurance’s new Personal Accident Policy, and it has given us real peace of mind.
“This landmark coverage is a game-changer for Gaelic games, where player welfare is always our top priority. It provides valuable financial support when injuries occur, helping players access treatment more quickly and reducing the burden on both families and the club.
“It is a practical solution that strengthens the protection available to our members while helping us to focus on what matters most: supporting our players both on and off the pitch. We are grateful to Colin and the team at Find Insurance for their continued support of Derry GAA and the wider Gaelic Games community.”
This launch reinforces Find Insurance’s continued commitment to supporting the communities they serve, building on its growing involvement with the GAA across the province.
