Glyde Rangers GFC is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club that fields gaelic football teams in competitions organised by Louth GAA. It is based in the County Louth village of Tallanstown, eleven kilometres southwest of Dundalk.

As of 2024, the club competes in the Louth Intermediate Championship and Division 3A of the county football Leagues.

At underage level, Glyde Rangers regularly combine with Tallanstown parish neighbours Westerns, Seán McDermott's and John Mitchels to enter teams in competitions under the banner of 'Baile Talún'.

The club also has a Ladies' Gaelic football team that competes in the county Intermediate Championship.[1]

History

The club was founded in 1926[2] and takes its name from the eponymous river, which flows through Tallanstown village. The club's sole success in the Louth Senior Football Championship came in 1934, when they defeated Wolfe Tones of Drogheda in the county final by 1–03 to 0–04.[3]
