St Patrick's GAA (Louth)

St Patrick's GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club that fields gaelic football teams in competitions organised by Louth GAA. It is located in Lordship on the Cooley Peninsula in north Louth. The club has a strong local rivalry with peninsula neighbours Cooley Kickhams.

As of 2023, the club competes in the Louth Senior Championship and Division 1 of the county football Leagues. Former Dublin defender Johnny Magee is senior team manager.

History
Founded in 1953, the club reached the final of the Louth Senior Football Championship for the first time in 1995, losing by ten points to St Mary's of Ardee at Cluskey Park in Dromiskin.

In 2003 the club returned to the county final under the management of Peter Fitzpatrick. St Patrick's beat St Mary's 2–11 to 0–10 in a replay to clinch their first Joe Ward Cup. Powered by Louth All-Star Paddy Keenan and several other inter-county players, the club would go on to win seven Senior Championships by the end of 2015.
