After entering receivership, however, Aer Arann were forced to pull out of the sponsorship two years early, having sponsored the team in the 2008, 20 seasons. In 2008, Tommy Varden ended the 25-year association with Galway football, and was replaced by Aer Arann as sponsors. Tommy Varden sponsorship of the footballers was followed by the Supermac's fast food chain sponsoring the hurlers for the first time in 1989. Sponsorship wasn't as open in the GAA at the time, and it wasn't until 1991 that regulations around sponsorship were eased. The first sponsor of any Galway team was Tommy Varden's Catering service, in the mid to late 1980s.

This new crest was, for the most part, the same as the hurling crest with the most notable differences being the angle of the boat, and the replacing of the letters CLG with GAA. The teams began using the same jerseys and crest in 2013, ahead of that year's Football and Hurling National Leagues. Galway's final football crest depicted a Galway hooker, a traditional fishing boat, along with a Gaelic football and contained the county motto 'Ceart agus Cóir', while the final hurling crest was based on the coat of arms of Galway city, shown on the left, with the county's Irish name, Gaillimh, and the initials CLG written underneath, CLG being short for Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, the GAA's Irish name. Until 2013, the football and hurling boards of Galway both used their own separate county crests for their teams. Although the teams most often wear white shorts and maroon socks, the teams have also worn all maroon kits in the past. A crest was added to the jersey in the 1950s, with different crests coming into use for each sport. In 1936, however, the county adopted maroon as its primary colour. In the early years of GAA competition, Galway teams wore the colours of the county champions in each sport. Galway's traditional colours are maroon and white. Noel Treacy served as the chairman of Galway County Board for five years and, afterwards, served on the Connacht Council. Underage development squads and activities at ages under 11 are under the auspices of the Coaching and Games Committee.

Underage club competitions (U-16 and younger) are organised in each code by separate committees, Coiste Peil na nÓg and Coiste Iomána na nÓg. Intercounty adult teams fall under the jurisdiction of the County Committee. In hurling, the Hurling Committee, also organises the Minor, U-21 and Junior competitions while in football, these grades are organised primarily by regional committees, the West GPC and the North GPC. The new committees in Galway undertook, for their respective codes, the organisation of the annual county club championships in football and hurling for the clubs of Galway. Financial control was also centralised and the crests, sponsorship and jerseys of the two teams were amalgamated.

In 2013, the boards were replaced by football and hurling committees with the officers of the committees no longer elected but appointed by the County Board (now the County Committee). In theory, the boards were overseen by a County Board, but were autonomous in terms of finance and the election of officers. This separation resulted in two different county crests, two different county jerseys and two different team sponsors. Gaelic football was organised by the Galway football board and hurling was organised by the Galway hurling board. Unlike other counties in Ireland, Gaelic games in Galway was run by two separate county boards. Galway GAA forms a part of the provincial branch, Connacht GAA. Galway GAA has jurisdiction over the area of the traditional county of Galway. It is currently in Division 1 of the National Hurling League. The county hurling team contests the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship via the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship. It is currently in Division 1 of the National Football League. It contests the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship via the Connacht Senior Football Championship. The county football team was the first from the province of Connacht to win an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC), but the second to appear in the final, following Mayo. Prior to amalgamation of the hurling and football county boards into one county board, each of the two codes were previously run by their separate boards in Galway, which was unusual for a dual county. Galway is one of the few dual counties in Ireland, competing in a similar level in both hurling and football codes. The Galway County Boards of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) ( Irish: Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Coiste Chontae na Gaillimhe) or Galway GAA are one of the 32 county boards in Ireland they are responsible for Gaelic games in County Galway, and for the Galway county teams.
