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.
The club shares its facilities with its sister club, St Val's Ladies Gaelic Football club, who operate in the senior grade of the Cork Ladies football championship. Another sister club in the parish is Cloughduv Hurling Club who also compete in the Junior A grade in the Muskerry division.
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]
