The Vancouver Harps are a Gaelic football and Hurling club based in Vancouver, Canada. They club represents the Vancouver Irish Sporting & Social Club. They play at Burnaby Lake RFC, Burnaby, BC or Trout Lake, Vancouver, BC and are members of Western Canada Division of the Canadian County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association.
The Harps compete every year in the Western Canadian Championships in both Men's & Ladies' Gaelic football.
The Men have been Champions in the West twice, being undefeated in 2005 (though the record shows a loss, after the team walked off the field in protest to the antics of the Calgary Chieftains in their final Championship game), and narrowly winning the 2006 Championship, defeating the Edmonton Wolfe Tones by 9 points in a game where a 5 point margin of victory was required, in the Final game of the Championships.
The Vancouver Ladies team are the reigning Western Canadian Champions (2007). They broke Edmonton's stranglehold on the Championship by sending their strongest showing to Alberta, and winning the Edmonton Tournament.
