Tha An Comunn Gà idhealach a' toirt misneachd do dhaoine a bhith a’ cleachdadh, a’ teagaisg agus ag ionnsachadh na Gà idhlig. Tha e an sàs ann an eachdraidh, litreachas, ealain agus ceòl Gà idhlig.
Aig an fhìor thoiseach bha An Comunn an sàs anns a bhith a’ stèidheachadh fèis Ghà idhlig, a’ cleachdadh tè a bha ann an Eisteddfod anns a' Chuimrigh mar shamhla. ’S e “Am Mòd†a thug iad air an fhèis seo agus as dèidh 100 bliadhna soirbheachail fhuair am Mòd an aithneachadh air an robh e airidh nuair a bhuilich a' Bhà nrigh an Aonta Rìoghail air. ’S e Am Mòd Nà iseanta Rìoghail a th’ air a-nis. Tha a Bhà nrigh na cùl-taic den Chomunn Gà idhealach, ’s e an à ireamh carthannais aig a' Mhòid SCO01282.
Mar is trice 's e An Comunn a th' aig daoine air, an à ite An Comunn Gà idhealach. Tha e a-measg nam prìomh buidhnean a tha a’ riochdachadh na Gà idhlig air feadh an t-saoghail.

An Comunn GÃ idhealach is a voluntary membership organisation, with charitable status, founded in Oban in 1891 as a vehicle for the preservation and development of the Gaelic language. It actively encourages the teaching, learning and use of the Gaelic language and the study and cultivation of Gaelic literature, history, music and art.
Initially, the Association was concerned with the founding of a Gaelic Festival modelled on the Welsh Eisteddfod. This Festival was called "The Mod" and it is a result of considerable endeavors that now, 100 years later due recognition has been granted to the Mod in the form of the Royal assent. The Festival is now known as The Royal National Mod.
Her Majesty the Queen is patron of An Comunn GÃ idhealach, and the Charity No. is SCO01282.
The Association is usually referred to as "An Comunn" the Association. For many throughout the world An Comunn is the body which represents the Gaelic language.
