The Western Canadian Championship is a Gaelic football championship tournament of the Western Divisional Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association, played every year in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.
In 2004, the first formal GAA sanctioned Western Canadian Championships were played.
The Divisional Board, in order to facilitate tournaments that include unaffiliated teams (i.e. not in the Western Divisional Board), and to allow each teams host critical games (understanding the travel distances between venues), agreed that the Championship would be played out in a League format.
The venue for Championship games would be rotated so that each team is required to cross the Rockies only once each year.
