Gaultier GAA Club is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located on the outskirts of Dunmore East (An Dún Mór Thoir in Irish) which is a popular tourist and fishing village in County Waterford, Ireland. Situated on the west side of Waterford Harbour on Ireland's southeastern coast, it lies within the barony of Gaultier (Gáll Tír – "foreigners' land" in Irish): a reference to the influx of firstly Viking (Norwegian) and then Norman settlers in the area. The club is exclusively concerned with Gaelic Football.

History

Gaultier GAA Club was founded in 1927 by an amalgamation of Dunmore Gaels and nearby village club Ballymacaw Ramblers. The club sports the famous Green and Gold Colours similar to that of Kerry and like the Kerry has a proud footballing tradition and is seen to be one of Waterford's footballing strongholds.

The club solely plays Gaelic Football and has sister clubs in Ballygunner and in Passage, two nearby villages which concentrate solely on Hurling.

The club has a fine record at Under-Age football winning every Under-Age Grade A Football Chmpionship from Under-12 all the way through to Under-21. Due to the success of Gaultiers sister clubs Ballygunner and Passage whom are the hurling arms of the club, Gaultier have never won a Waterford Senior Football Title.
