Kilmihil GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in Kilmihil, County Clare, Ireland. The club is primarily concerned with the game of Gaelic football.
History[edit]
Located in the village of Kilmihil in the Barony of Clonderlaw, Kilmihil GAA Club was founded shortly after the establishment of the Gaelic Athletic Association.[1] The club enjoyed its first major success in 1925 when, wearing black and amber jerseys, the Clare JFC title was claimed.[2] This was followed by a first Clare IFC title in 1928. Further honours were claimed in both grades before Kilmihil won the Clare SFC title in 1980 after a defeat of Doonbeg in the final.[3][4] The turn of the 21st century has seen Kilmihil claim three Clare IFC in a 15-year period between 2008 and 2023.[5]
