History

Located in the village of Shinrone, on the Offaly-Tipperary border, Shinrone GAA Club was one of the first seventy clubs affiliated to Central Council after the foundation of the GAA in 1884. Hurling and Gaelic football had been played in the area prior to this. [1]

The club has spent most of its existence operating in the junior grade and are the all-time record-holders, having won nine Offaly JHC titles over a 100-year period. Shinrone have also won four Offaly IHC titles at various intervals. [2]

Shinrone qualified for their very first Offaly SHC final in 1960, however, they lost of to Drumcullen by a point. [3] The club claimed their inaugural Offaly SHC after a 0–26 to 2–13 win over Kilcormac–Killoughey in 2022. [4]
