• A properly fitted mouthguard is the best available protective device for reducing the incidence and severity of sports-related dental injuries
• Players can be sent-off in a game for not wearing a mouthguard
• Players will not be covered under the GAA player injury scheme if they don’t comply with the mouthguard rule
A document has been compiled to assist GAA Clubs, players, parents, coaches and referees in complying with the provisions of the rule which is available to view on the club website.
