History

In spite of a Gaelic games revival in the town of Buncrana in the 1940s, it would be over 40 years before Buncrana GAA Club had their first success at adult level when the Donegal JFC title was won after a 3–06 to 1–06 defeat of St Eunan's. [1] [2] The club secured senior status following Donegal IFC wins in 1995 and 2004. [3] Buncrana won a second Donegal JFC title after a defeat of Letterkenny Gaels in 2019. [4] A revival of hurling in the club resulted in the Donegal IHC being claimed for the first time after a defeat of Carndonagh in 2024. [5]
