Tolosa Gaels x Rory Grugan

A series of images documenting Rory Grugan — All-Ireland winner with County Armagh in 2024 — as he travels across France on a mission to bring Gaelic football to new audiences. Shot on location in Frouzins with Tolosa Gaels, the photos capture intimate coaching sessions, first encounters with the sport, and the cultural exchange at the heart of his journey. This project explores how an ancient Irish sport finds new life in unexpected places. The photographs were published by L’Équipe, one of France’s leading sports media outlets.
