Barry McCambridge (born 1998) is a Gaelic footballer who plays for the Clann Éireann club and at senior level for the Armagh county team. McCambridge scored a goal against Kerry in the 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Semi-Final, to send his team through to a first final for 21 years.[1] Before that he scored a goal in the Quarter-Final against Roscommon.
