Kilmurry GAA is a Gaelic football club based in the village and parish of Kilmurry, Cork, Ireland. The club plays in the division of Muskerry of Cork GAA. It currently fields teams from Premier Junior down to under-age levels.

History

The club was founded in 1875, making it one of the earliest clubs to be founded. In 1884, after the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association, the club joined the GAA.[1]

The club struggled for a long time to field a senior team, playing as a amalgamation with Canovee GAA, for most of the 1910s.[1] [2]
