History

Located in Rosscarbery in West Cork, Carbery Rangers was founded on 10 November 1887. [1] The club played its first match just under a month later in a field which was part of the lands of Downeen Castle. Carbery Rangers first came to countywide notice when they contested and lost back-to-back Cork SFC finals in 1905 and 1906. [2]

Carbery Rangers spent much of the following century operating in the junior grade, winning ten West Cork JAFC titles between 1937 and 2003. The last of these victories was subsequently converted into north Cork JAFC and Munster Club JFC titles, before losing the All-Ireland final to Wolfe Tones. [3] [4] [5] Life in the intermediate grade yielded further successes, including consecutive Munster Club IFC titles as well as the All-Ireland Club IFC title in 2005. [6]

After finally earning senior status, Carbery Rangers reached the 2014 final, only to lose to Ballincollig by three points. [7] A second final appearance in 2016 saw Carbery Rangers claim the Cork SFC for the first time in their history. [8]
