Ballyduff Upper GAA Club is a GAA club based in the west County Waterford village of Ballyduff, Republic of Ireland. The club has won the Waterford Senior Hurling Championship three times, in 1982, 1987 and most recently in 2007. While mainly a hurling club, the club has had some success in gaelic football, winning the Waterford Senior Football Championship in 1924.

Ballyduff won the 2007 Waterford Senior Championship after beating Ballygunner on a scoreline of 1-18 to 1-14. Ballyduff are the first West Waterford side to win the county championship since 1993. The title is seen as a great achievement considering Ballyduff only won the Waterford Intermediate Championship in 2005.

[edit] Honours

Ballyduff Upper Club was awarded the 'Club of the Year award' in 2005, a remarkable achievement considering how Ballyduff only fields players from the parish of Ballyduff and has a strict policy of home grown players, unlike other parishes in Waterford. In this aspect, Ballyduff Upper is unique unlike their neighbours Lismore who are assential a combination of Tourin, Lismore and Ballysaggart.
