Options Technology, the leading provider of capital markets infrastructure, today announced its sponsorship of Cambridge University’s Gaelic Athletic Club, marking a continuation of its operational expansion and deepening community engagement in the city. As part of this broader commitment, the company has also offered several summer internships to Cambridge students, supporting both sporting development and career growth for the next generation of talent.
The Cambridge University Gaelic Club has experienced notable growth in recent years, fueled by a vibrant Irish community in the city and the rising international popularity of Gaelic games such as football, hurling, and camogie. This investment will support the club’s ongoing development and offer students from all backgrounds the chance to engage with one of the world’s fastest-growing amateur sports, both locally and nationally.
Danny Moore, President and CEO of Options Technology, commented, “At Options, we are deeply committed to supporting young people in their academic, sporting, and social pursuits. Our sponsorship of the Cambridge Gaelic Athletic Club, along with broader investment, will help enhance the student experience and next generation of talent at the university. We’re equally proud to be offering summer internships to Cambridge students, providing them with invaluable real-world experience in the tech and finance sectors.
We are honored to strengthen our partnership with such a prestigious university and to build on the strong connections developed over recent years. This sponsorship, alongside the expansion of our new Cambridge office, underscores our growing footprint in this historic city, and we look forward to deepening our collaboration with Cambridge for many years to come.”

This sponsorship will help students to enjoy their sport whilst also excelling in their studies. We are also delighted to announce that we have offered several internships to Cambridge University students throughout the summer months. We are particularly excited about providing opportunities for these talented students to build on their career prospects and employability skills.”
Conor McKenna, Student and Founder of GAA societyat Cambridge University added, “This sponsorship will be instrumental in helping us grow both the team and the wider university society. We’re excited to foster a vibrant culture and engage players who are keen to reconnect with the GAA community here in Cambridge. Importantly, we’ve also seen strong interest from students around the world who might not have grown up with Gaelic games but are eager to get involved. As with sports globally, the GAA has a unique ability to bring people together and help every member thrive, on and off the field.”
