THE ASSOCIATION ACTIVELY SUPPORTS THE PRESERVATION AND PROMOTION OF ALL ASPECTS OF IRISH CULTURE AND TRADITION. THE FOSTERING AND ADVANCEMENT OF THE IRISH LANGUAGE AND TRADITIONAL DANCING, MUSIC, SONG AND OTHER ASPECTS OF IRISH CULTURE ARE PART OF THE GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF THE NEW YORK GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. THE PASSING ON OF THEIR SPORTING TRADITIONS AND CULTURE TO THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR DESCENDENTS WOULD INSTILL IN THEM A RESPECT FOR THE TRADITIONS AND CULTURE OF PEOPLES FROM OTHER LANDS. THE ASSOCIATION INTERACTS WITH THE SPORTING AND FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE OTHER NATIONALITIES TO PROMOTE PROGRAMS AND POLICIES OF MUTUAL INTEREST.
