Patrickswell GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Patrickswell, County Limerick, Ireland. The club is primarily concerned with the game of hurling, but has also fielded teams in Gaelic football.
History
[edit | edit source]Located in the village of Patrickswell, about 10km outside Limerick, Patrickswell GAA Club was founded in 1943.[1] The club spent its early existence operating in the junior grades, winning Limerick JAHC titles in 1955 and 1957. This was followed by a Limerick JAFC title in 1964. After voting to remain in the senior grade, Patrickswell made the breakthrough by winning consecutive Limerick SHC titles in 1965 and 1966.[2]
After their initial title success, Patrickswell proceeded to dominate the local club hurling scene. 16 titles were claimed between 1965 and 1997 to put them equal with all-time record holders Ahane. The club also won two Munster Club SHC titles during that period, as well as losing to Glenmore in the 1991 All-Ireland club final.[3][4]
Patrickswell and Ahane continued their battle to be outright leaders on the all-time roll of honour at the turn of the century. After a 13-year lapse, Patrickswell drew level once again after claiming their 19th Limerick SHC title in 2016.[5] Patrickswell beat Na Piarsaigh by 1-17 to 0-15 to claim a record 20th SHC title in 2019.[6]
