THE LEINSTER HOCKEY ASSOCIATION COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The Leinster Hockey Association (LHA) is the governing body for field hockey in the province of Leinster, operating as a company limited by guarantee. Its core mission is to promote, organise and develop the sport for clubs, players and officials throughout the region. By managing fixtures, match-cards and a full calendar of competitions-including shield and cup weekends for youth indoor tournaments-the LHA ensures a vibrant, well-structured playing environment for all levels.

Beyond competition administration, the association places a strong emphasis on player and club development. It offers dedicated resources, guidelines and programmes that support skill progression, coaching standards and the overall health and safety of participants, such as its concussion guidelines and the recent aerial rule change. The LHA also maintains transparent governance through its board, admin forms and privacy policies, and works closely with a network of sponsors to sustain its initiatives.

Based in Dublin, the Leinster Hockey Association serves clubs across the province, providing a central hub for news, updates and the continued growth of Irish field hockey.
