The GAA has taken action to immediately suspend club games at all levels across Ireland until further notice.
Club social centres and bars will also close following a meeting of the GAA Management Committee this morning.
The meeting came ahead of the Government's cabinet meeting late this afternoon to discuss NPHET's shock recommendation to lift restrictions on the country as a whole to Level 5, which would prevent sporting activity taking place.
Training is allowed to continue but two weeks out from the planned start of intercounty action, the GAA has decided to take action following the lack of adherence to the government's Covid-19 guidelines that has been highlighted.
A GAA statement read: "The decision has been taken in the interest of public safety following a number of incidents that have been brought to our attention in recent days. "In particular, post-match celebrations and a lack of social distancing at certain events have proved disappointing and problematic."
Concerns were raised over footage of the celebrations that followed Blackrock hurling club's dramatic county final win yesterday, while earlier in Armagh county squad training was suspended along with club activity following an outbreak of coronavirus.
This directive applies to all ages and all grades across the island.
"Training will continue to be permitted as per the guidelines outlined for the relevant levels in the Government's National Framework for Living with Covid 19 and relevant guidelines in the Six Counties."
The statement added: "The decision has been taken in the interest of public safety following a number of incidents that have been brought to our attention in recent days.
"In particular, post-match celebrations and a lack of social distancing at certain events have proved disappointing and problematic.
"This directive applies to all ages and all grades across the island.
"The GAA will continue to monitor the situation in the coming days and weeks, regarding changes in government guidelines, before liaising with our units accordingly.
"The Association would also like to acknowledge all of those units who have worked diligently in complying with the public health advice around the staging of our games and training sessions since activity resumed.
"More than ever, we ask that you continue with this approach where training sessions for your players is continuing."
