Aldi Community Games was founded in 1967. That's 51 years ago!
Our main objective is to provide young people with the means and the opportunity to utilise their leisure time in a healthy and productive way.
The organisation is child-centred and the focus is on participation rather than winning. Children take part in friendly rivalry, in a fun and healthy way.
To qualify for the National Festival which is held twice a year in UL, individual participants must first take part at Area, then at County and sometimes at Provincial level. 7,000 children compete in the National Festivals every year. To find your local Community Games, choose your County below.

Community Games Steps to Health 2019
Aldi Community Games in association with the HSE have developed the ‘Steps to Health’. The ‘Steps to Health’ is a quality standard in health promotion. This is an opportunity for Community Games to highlight the valuable contribution made by volunteers and participants to improving the health and well-being of all members of the community. 39 Areas received either a Bronze, Silver or Gold Standard in 2018.
The ‘Steps to Health’ quality standard can be displayed on all Area promotional materials, letterheads, social media, etc. to highlight the achievement. This is a positive initiative which promotes and encourages community participation in matters relating to all aspects of health and well-being. In addition, ‘Steps to Health’ will contribute significantly towards the point’s allocation for the Area Awards and each Area that achieves a standard will get free affiliation for the following year as well as a monetary incentive.
