Scór is a competition which is run at county, provincial and All-Ireland level and winners receive the same GAA medals that field sport competitors receive when competing at these levels.

Scór seeks to advance the aspiration of the GAA to actively support the Irish language, traditional Irish dancing, music, song, and other aspects of Irish culture, through a range of competitions at youth and adult levels, designed to encourage

participation, enjoyment, inclusivity and excellence.

There are eight events/disciplines in Scór that cover all aspects of Irish culture:

1. Amhránaíocht Aonair - Solo Singing (in English or Irish – must be an Irish  themed song e.g. Irish ballad)

2. Aithriseoireacht/scéalaíocht - Recitation/Storytelling (in English or Irish – must be Irish themed)

3. Bailéad Ghrúpa - Ballad Group (in English or Irish – must be an Irish themed song)

4. Ceol Uirlise - Instrumental Music (Irish traditional music)

5. Léiriú stáitse - Stage Presentation (Irish themed)

6. Rince Foirne - Figure or Ceilí Dancing

7. Rince seit - Set Dancing

8. Tráth na gCeist - Table Quiz
