Kildavin/Clonegal GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in Kildavin, County Carlow, Ireland. The club fields teams in both hurling and Gaelic football.

History

[edit]

The first record of organised Gaelic games in the parish was in 1888 when a Clonegal team featuring players from Kildavin was formed.[2] Kildavin organised their own team in 1894. A game between the two sides in 1912 resulted in amalgamation discussions and the new Kildavin/Clonegal club was officially established on 26 May 1914. The teams have operated as individual clubs on a number of occasions since then, however, the united Kildavin/Clonegal club secured the Carlow IFC title in 1998, before winning the Carlow IHC title in 2003.[3] The club won the Carlow JHC title in 2023.[4]
