The Gaelic Games Council of Britain(GGCB) is the national governing body for Gaelic games in England, Scotland and Wales, and is the only provincial Gaelic games council outside the island of Ireland. The council is made up of the British Provincial Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association, also known as Britain GAA, the British Provincial Council of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association, also known as Britain LGFA, and the British Board of the Camogie Association. The GGCB was recognised by the United Kingdom government as the official national governing body for Gaelic games in 2026.

The British Council is responsible for the seven county boards of Great Britain: Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Lancashire, London, Scotland, Warwickshire and Yorkshire. The counties cover wider areas than their names suggest, with the county boards covering the entirety of Great Britain when combined. The most popular sport is Gaelic football and some clubs are dedicated only to that sport.

While the GGCB runs its own competitions, the 'All-Britains', a number of British counties play in the Irish competitions.
