Kildavin/Clonegal GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in Kildavin, County Carlow, Ireland. The club fields teams in both hurling and Gaelic football.
History
The first record of organised Gaelic games in the parish was in 1888 when a Clonegal team featuring players from Kildavin was formed.[2] Kildavin organised their own team in 1894. A game between the two sides in 1912 resulted in amalgamation discussions and the new Kildavin/Clonegal club was officially established on 26 May 1914. The teams have operated as individual clubs on a number of occasions since then, however, the united Kildavin/Clonegal club secured the Carlow IFC title in 1998, before winning the Carlow IHC title in 2003.[3] The club won the Carlow JHC title in 2023.[4]
