Ard Bó Uí Dhonnabhain Rossa Cuman Lúthchleas Gael (Ardboe O'Donovan Rossa in English) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in east County Tyrone, Northern ireland, close to the shores of Lough Neagh. It and Moortown St. Malachy's both draw players from the same parish, Ardboe. The club was formed in 1947 but Gaelic Games had existed under different banners from the early 20th century.

The club's grounds are named after Michael Coney, a tireless worker for both the club and the county in the 1930s. There is both a main playing and training pitch, both with modern floodlighting.

The club has won a total of 7 Tyrone Senior championships, the last in 1998 when they defeated Omagh.

Some of the most notable past players include Frank McGuigan and Michael Muldoon. Current Tyrone senior panellists include McGuigan's sons Brian and Tommy. Kyle Coney also is a player for Tyrone Minors.

The Ardboe camogie team compete in the Derry league.
