Carrigaline GAA

History

Located in the town of Carrigaline, about 12 km south of Cork, Carrigaline Hurling & Football Club is one of the oldest clubs in the county, if not the country, having been formed in the early days of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1884. The club has spent the majority of its existence operating in the junior grades and won the inaugural South East JAHC title in 1926. It was the first of 10 such titles. Carrigaline have also been regular winners of the South East JAFC and have claimed 14 titles in all.

The 21st century brought a number of successes in both codes. Carrigaline won the Cork IHC and the Cork IFC titles after respective defeats of Bandon in 2008 and Cill na Martra in 2009. The club achieved senior status for the first time in 2015, when the Cork PIFC was won after a 0–12 to 0–11 defeat of St Michael's. Almost a decade later, Carrigaline once again reached the top tier when the club won the Cork SAFC title after a two-point win over Knocknagree.
