Setanta Berlin Gaelic Club e.V.
Setanta Berlin Gaelic Club e.V. (more commonly known as simply Setanta Berlin) evolved from a number of initiatives to form a GAA club in the German capital city. From early day initiatives in 2012, eventually 2 clubs formed, Berlin GAA and Setanta Berlin Gaelic Club e.V. Berlin GAA was initially based at Tempelhofer Feld, the old Berlin city airport, and had initially a focus on gaelic football. Berlin GAA was affiliated to the European County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) - now knows as "Gaelic Games Europe" in late 2014.

Setanta Berlin on the other hand was based in the Steglitz discrict of the city, and focussed on hurling, with particular emphasis on youth development. The club had a close relationship initially to the Steglitz Hockey Club, and ran a number of "hurling blitz" events, with many members of the hockey club participating.

Setanta Berlin became affiliated to the GAA in 2017.
