History

Located outside Mullingar, County Westmeath on the old Longford road, Cullion GAA club was founded in 1949 following the disbandment of the nearby Rathconnell club. [1] Cullion was only two years in existence when they won their first Westmeath JHC title after defeating Castletown-Geoghegan in the final. [2] By the late 1950s, Cullion had established themselves as a Westmeath SHC club. Cullion won the Feis Cup in 1964,[ citation needed ] which was their only success in senior competition until winning the Westmeath SBHC title in 2021. [3]
