Newcestown GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Newcestown, County Cork, Ireland. The club is affiliated to the West Cork Board and fields teams in both hurling and Gaelic football.

## History

[edit]

Located in the village of Newcestown, about 8 miles from Bandon, Newcestown GAA Club was founded on 17 December 1958 and played its first game, against Kilmeen, in the spring of 1959.[1] Success came immediately, with the club winning several divisional titles in both hurling and Gaelic football throughout the 1960s. Newcestown's second Southwest JFC title in 1967 was subsequently converted into a Cork JFC title after a defeat of Midlton in the final.[2] The club secured senior status for the first time after winning the Cork IFC title in 1971.[3]

Newcestown claimed the first of three Cork JHC titles in 1972, with further titles being claimed in 1980 and 1992.[4][5] The club began the new century by winning a second Cork IFC title after a defeat of Nemo Rangers in 2001.[6] This was followed by claiming the Cork PIFC title in 2010 and a return to the top flight.[7] Newcestown added the Cork PIHC title in 2015 and became a dual senior club for the first time in their history.[8] In 2023, Newcestown completed a SAHC-SAFC double after respective defeats of Blarney and Dohenys.[9][10]
