Slieve Bloom Gaelic Athletic Association Club is a small junior hurling club in County Laois, Ireland.
The club was founded in 1947 and colours are orange and white.
In 1947 Slieve Bloom won the Laois Junior Hurling Championship but had to wait until 1983 to repeat that success. Their only other championship title came in 1999 when Bernie Conroy captained them to the Junior B title with a memorable 2-4 to 0-7 win over neighbours Castletown.
Slieve Bloom also won the League Division 4 title in 1999 with a repeat win over Castletown and added the Division 3 title in 2002.
At underage level the club amalgamates with Castletown GAA club or Ballyfin GAA club.
