The GAA is close to developing a centralised match results and player records archive as part of its soon-to-be-updated official website.

An initiative, which will be roundly welcomed across the organisation, is to be based largely on the work done by results curator and statistician Pádraig Ferguson, who has provided years of data on his website GAA Lore, which is in the process of being transferred to gaa.ie.
