The Cavan County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) or Cavan GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in Cavan.
Cavan GAA has jurisdiction over the area that is associated with the traditional county of County Cavan. There are 8 officers on the Board. For details on the Board's clubs, see Gaelic Athletic Association clubs in County Cavan and List of Gaelic games clubs in Ireland#Cavan. The Board is subject to the Ulster GAA Provincial Council.
The teams of Cavan GAA play home games at Kingspan Breffni Park, Cavan. The current football manager is Mattie McGleenan who took over in October 2016, following the resignation of Terry Hyland in August 2016. Previously Hyland had led the under 21 team to two successive Ulster titles in 2011 and 2012. He also led the same team to the All Ireland Under 21 Championship final in 2012 where they lost out to Galway.
