Directed by award-winning documentary Director, Ross Whitaker, ‘The Toughest Summer’ is the story of a summer where sport took a backseat, and support came to the fore. Starring every element of the GAA community, this story takes us from complete lockdown to the first throw-in.

Following the unprecedented halt to the games we love, “The Toughest Summer” will chart the return to GAA of players, including Kilkenny’s TJ Reid and Galway’s Caitriona Cormican, coaches, volunteers and clubs and the joy that being able to restart Gaelic Games has brought to communities nationwide. The story will document GAA and Camogie communities as they look towards the first year without an All-Ireland Series to follow the County Club Championships and the first ever winter All Ireland Inter-County Championships.

The Toughest Summer will be a celebration of all that is wonderful about GAA. It will highlight the strength of GAA grassroots and the power of the GAA community as they show their support across the country in navigating a summer like no other, proving just why GAA is such a special sport and community, quite unlike any other in the world.
