History
Located in the village of Dungourney, about 9km from Midleton, Dungourney GAA Club was established in the early years of the Gaelic Athletic Association.[1] The club had it's most successful period in the first decade of the 20th century when it won Cork SHC titles in 1902, 1907 and 1909.[2] The first of these victories also saw Dungourney represent Cork in the inter-county series of games and win the 1902 All-Ireland SHC title after beating London in the final.[3]
Dungourney subsequently slipped down the ranks before winning an East Cork JBHC title in 1967.[4] This was followed by the first of four East Cork JAHC titles between 1972 and 2015. The last of these victories was later converted into a Cork JAHC title before beating Fenor by 1–17 to 0–08 to claim the Munster Club JHC title.[5] Dungourney had their most recent success when the club won the Cork IAHC title in 2022.[6]
