A Minor Board was first formed in 1985 in an effort to promote Gaelic Games with youth in Toronto. 1986 was a banner year with four minor teams competing. All of the participants were Canadian born and showed great enthusiasm for Gaelic football until the board stopped in 1994.
Now in 2009 a new Minor Board has been formed which includes officers from each region - Toronto, Brampton, Durham and Ottawa. 2010 sees the introduction of a full Minor League from U-10, U-12, U-14, U-16 boys and girls.
