New York GAA Announces Gerry Fox as Senior Football Manager for 2027

The New York Gaelic Athletic Association (NYGAA) is delighted to announce the appointment of Gerry Fox as New York Senior Football Manager for 2027, following his ratification by the floor at a recent County Board meeting.

Gerry, a native of Ballinalee, Co. Longford, now based in New Jersey, is a former Longford footballer and a well-known figure in Gaelic games on both sides of the Atlantic. At home, he played for many years with Sean Connolly's and later managed the club, as well as Mullinalaghta and Ardagh, before bringing his experience to New York.

This is not Gerry's first time at the helm. He was first appointed New York Senior Football Manager in December 2019, ahead of a 2020 Connacht Championship clash with Galway at Gaelic Park. That campaign was cut short when the COVID-19 pandemic halted the championship, and Gerry never got the chance to lead the team out.

He now returns to finish what he started.

Gerry's knowledge of the New York game runs deep. He served as a selector with the New York Seniors under Justin O'Halloran in 2018.

At club level, he has been involved with Sligo NY for more than nine years, guiding them to back-to-back doubles: the New York League and Intermediate Championship in 2018, followed by the Senior

League and Championship in 2019, when Sligo claimed their first senior crown since 1985. This year, as part of the Sligo NY management team, he helped the club to another New York

Senior Championship.

Gerry is assembling an experienced backroom team, which will be

formally announced in the coming weeks. It includes coaches Dan

Doona (Kerry), Enda Williams (Longford) and Sean McNamee(Armagh); physio Marie Geraghty (Galway); John Collins (Roscommon) and Seamie Keane (Mayo) of Trinity Gym,

who will lead strength and conditioning with the help of Aoife Carrig (Clare); Amy Brett (Mayo) as Tour Manager

and Logistics; and David Harry Murnaghan (Monaghan) as kitman.

Speaking on his appointment, Gerry said: "It is a huge honor to manage New York again. 2020 was unfinished

business for me, and I'm looking forward to working with this talented group of players and building on the

progress New York has made in recent seasons."
