History
In 2004, the first formal GAA sanctioned Western Canadian Championships were played. The Divisional Board, in order to facilitate tournaments that include unaffiliated teams (i.e. not in the Western Divisional Board), and to allow each teams host critical games (understanding the travel distances between venues), agreed that the Championship would be played out in a League format. Each member team would play each other team twice, over two tournaments. The venue for Championship games would be rotated so that each team is required to cross the Rockies only once each year. Only the 5 member clubs (5 men's & 3 ladies' teams) compete in this Championship. The Edmonton Wolf Tones would win the first 3 ladies championships, whilst the Calgary Chieftains won the 2004 men's title, and the Vancouver Harps won the 2005 and 06 men's titles. These three clubs would split the championships amongst themselves for the next 10 or so years, before a 4th club won their first cup, with the Fraser Valley Gaels winning the men's cup in 2016 and 2018. ==Roll of honour==
