Gift ideas for young GAA, soccer and rugby players

Buying for a child who lives in their jersey? Here are gift ideas that sports-mad kids genuinely love, at every budget.

Young soccer player with a personalised shield

Personalised player shield

Their own football-card style shield with their photo, name, club and stats. It goes straight on the bedroom wall – from €16.

Match tickets

A day out at Croke Park, the Aviva or their local League of Ireland ground is a memory they'll keep.

New gear

A hurley, gloves, a size-correct ball or new boots – check sizes with their coach first.

Books and annuals

Player autobiographies and sports annuals are great for keen readers.

A gift voucher

Not sure about club colours or photos? A Sports Shields gift voucher lets them design their own.
