Muckalee/Ballyfoyle Rangers GAA was a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in the Muckalee and Ballyfoyle areas of County Kilkenny, Ireland. The club was primarily concerned with the game of hurling.

History

The Muckalee/Ballyfoyle Rangers club was formed in 1971.[1] The new club claimed the Kilkenny JHC title after a defeat of Mullinavat in 1974.[2] It gained a second promotion just a year later when senior status was secured by winning the Kilkenny IHC. Muckalee/Ballyfoyle Rangers's time in the top flight saw them lose the 1980 SHC final to Ballyhale Shamrocks.[3] Muckalee/Ballyfoyle Rangers amalgamated with the Coon club in 1982, resulting in the creation of the St. Martin's club.[4]
