Rathmolyon GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Rathmolyon, County Meath, Ireland. The club is exclusively concerned with the game of hurling.
Located in the village of Rathmolyon, about five miles from Trim, Rathmolyon GAA Club was founded in 1963 when a group of men who were playing with Moynalvey decided to establish a hurling club in the area. [1] A juvenile and underage section of the club was also established. Rathmolyon had it's first success when the club won the Meath IHC title in 1975 and secured senior status for the first time. [2]
Success at senior level was slow in coming, with Rathmolyon losing three consecutive Meath SHC finals between 1982 and 1984. A decade later in 1993, Rathmolyon won it's first Meath SHC title, after beating Wolfe Tones by 2–14 to 4-07. [3] A second title followed three years later in 1996 after a defeat of Kilmessan in the final. [4]
Rathmolyon claimed a third and final Meath SHC title in 2006. [5] The club subsequently faced a relegation from the top tier, but won a second Meath IHC title in 2012 to reclaim the club's senior status. [6]
