Please see below important information in relation to the GAA Injury Benefit Fund and the claims administration.

GAA Injury Benefit Fund 2025 Claims Administration for claims with Injury Dates from June 1, 2025 – Allianz are now the appointed claims administrators As noted on the previous communication issued, the injured player or a parent \ guardian where the player is U18 at the injury date will be registering and managing their Injury Fund claims from June 1, 2025.

Please see attached the 2025 GAA Injury Benefit Fund summary document which outlines the terms and benefits of the Fund. The document is also available on the QR Code below. The injured player or a parent \ guardian notifying the claim where the player is U18 at the injury has 60 days from the injury date to register the claim. The injury date is day 1. This is the only timeline notification for the claims reporting.

It would be hoped as well that whilst the claims notification action on Foireann will be used for Injury Fund claims notifications, that GAA units may also use it as a way of managing injuries within their respective unit. Notification of the claims will be via Foireann and therefore, it’s important that each player has been registered on Foireann for 2025 and has an active membership number against their record.

Please see a link to a video which shows the claims notification process via Foireann https://youtu.be/VUiSDqkZpj4 Details are also available on the helpful link below. Once the player registers the claim, the GAA unit will still need to validate and approve it in the same way that the player transfers process, vetting process works.

Please see a link to a video which shows the claims validation process. https://youtu.be/YwkzvyUOx44 Details are also available on the helpful link below. Please note that it is only when a claim is validated, will it go to Allianz for administration.
