Louth woman, Lyn Savage, has been confirmed as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association. 
Savage, who will succeed long-serving Helen O’Rourke in the role, will officially take over the position on the 9th of March, 2026 .
Ms Savage is currently the LGFA’s National Development Manager, having previously served the Association as National Development Officer. 
Prior to that, she worked with Dublin GAA as a Games Promotion Officer, having played with her home county, Louth, for 15 years. 
Lyn Savage, from the Cooley Kickhams club, and with strong family ties with St Patrick’s, was a 1998 All-Ireland Junior and 1999 All-Ireland Intermediate medallist with the Wee County. 
Commenting on the appointment, Ladies Gaelic Football Association President, Trina Murray, said: “Lyn brings a wealth of experience, deep knowledge of our game, and a long-standing commitment to the development of women’s sport. 
 
“Throughout her career, she has demonstrated exceptional leadership, strategic insight, and a genuine dedication to supporting players, volunteers, staff, and communities across the country and in our International units. 
 
“We are confident she will continue to strengthen the foundations of the LGFA and guide the organisation into its next chapter.
 
“As we welcome Lyn, we also honour Helen O'Rourke's 28 years of service. Her leadership has built the strong, committed, and united team that will carry the organisation forward, providing a solid foundation for this next phase.”
