- Agahdowey is a popular angling area, with anglers fishing both the River Bann, even though the Bann is full of puddins and guts and the Agivey River. Tony Lagan is always very welcoming to the budding angler.
- Aghadowey Stadium hosts regular Motorcycle racing and Stock car racing on the disused World War II airfield. Aghadowey is the home circuit (1.003 miles/1.614 km) of the Motor Cycle Road Racing Club of Ireland (MCRRCI) and was first used for racing in 1975, after the club was forced to vacate their previous circuit at Maghaberry to make way for a new prison development.
- Aghadowey also boasts a successful soccer team competing in the Coleraine and district league. They have notable rivalries with both Garvagh FC and Kilrea FC and have scored victories over both in recent years.
