Camross Gaelic Athletic Association Club is a hurling and football club in County Laois, Ireland.
Founded in 1903, the club is one of the most successful hurling clubs in County Laois and club colours are black and amber.
The Camross club did not win the Laois Senior Hurling Championship until 1959 but since then they have added a record 21 more senior hurling titles to their roll of honour. They last won the Laois Senior Hurling Championship in 1996.
Camross has also won the Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship twice, in 1976/77 and 1996/97.
Football is very much a secondary sport in the club but Camross did win the Laois Junior Football Championship in 1980 and the Laois Junior "B" Football Championship in 2005.
Many famous Camross players have represented Laois at senior hurling over the years including Frank Keenan, PJ Cuddy, Joe Dollard and Tadgh Doran.
