Inniscarra Football and Hurling Club is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Inniscarra, County Cork, Ireland. The club is affiliated to the Muskerry Board and fields teams in hurling, camogie and Gaelic football.
Located in the parish of Inniscarra, about 10 miles west of Cork, Inniscarra GAA Club was founded in 1886. [1] The newly-established club took part in the inaugural Cork SHC in 1887. Inniscarra reached the final of that competition in 1891, but were beaten by Blackrock. [2]
Inniscarra later operated in the junior ranks and won eight Mid Cork JHC titles between 1935 and 1975. The last title was subsequently converted into a Cork JHC title after a 5-07 to 3-08 defeat of Ballymartle in the final. [3] [4] Nearly 50 years after this title success, Inniscarra won the Cork PIHC title follwoing a 3-12 to 1-17 win over Castlemartyr in a replay. [5]
Inniscarra has also won two Mid Cork JAFC titles during their history. [6] The club beat Ballygarvan by a point to win the Cork JAFC title in 2024. [7]
