St Joseph's Hurling Club (Cumann Iomána Naomh Iosaf)[citation needed] was founded in 1995, bringing Gaelic games to the people of Silicon Valley.[tone] The club's men's teams have won six hurling titles, two Gaelic football titles, and the women's Gaelic football team winning their championship in 1999.[citation needed]
After the 2002 season, the club was disbanded.[citation needed] A later increase in the area's Irish population resulted in the club being reformed in time for the 2012 hurling season.[citation needed] Success followed in the 2014 season with St. Joseph's winning the Western Division Junior Championship and North American Junior B Championship. St. Joseph's went on to retain their Western Division Junior Championship in 2015.[citation needed]
Although many of the players are locally settled Irish, St. Joseph's also seeks other players from the area.[citation needed] Nearby Stanford University has a collegiate hurling team and has close ties with St. Joseph's.[citation needed]
The club is affiliated to the Western Division Board, an affiliate of the North American GAA.[citation needed]
