Ardagh GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in County Mayo, Ireland. The club, which is based in Cloonkee in Ardagh,[1] plays Gaelic football and is a member of the North division of Mayo GAA. As of 2024, the club was fielding teams in the Mayo Junior Football Championship.[2][3]
History
[edit]The first record of Ardagh fielding a GAA team was in 1908 when they played Knockmore in a challenge game. There was, however, no official team in Ardagh until 1929. Another team was affiliated in 1944 but, due to emigration, was disbanded in 1946.[4] In the late 1950s and 1960s, Ardagh teams won several local 7-a-side tournaments and some of the players played for Ballina and Crossmolina. In 1972, a new club was formed, named Ardmoy, to represent the parishes of Ardagh and Moygownagh.[4] While operating as separate clubs, they fielded a combined team for championship fixtures.[5]
The club won the Mayo Senior League Division 3 title in 2023.[6]
