Gaelic League
Conradh na Gaeilge, Dublin.

Conradh na Gaeilge (irisch; englisch: Gaelic League) – Die Gälische Liga ist ein Zusammenschluss mit dem Ziel, Irisch als Sprache in Irland am Leben zu halten. Sie wurde am 31. Juli 1893 von Douglas Hyde, einem Protestanten und Unionisten aus Frenchpark (County Roscommon) in Dublin gegründet. Weitere Gründungsmitglieder waren Eugene O'Growney, Eoin MacNeill. Die Gaelische Liga entwickelte sich aus der früheren Gaelic Union und wurde die führende Institution bei der Förderung des so genannten Gaelic Revival gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Sie unterhielt die Zeitung An Claidheamh Soluis ("The Sword of Light") als eigenes Organ, dessen berühmtester Herausgeber der Anführer des Osteraufstandes von 1916, Patrick Pearse, war und veranstalteten den ersten irischen Céilí.
