Bredagh GAC is a County Down Gaelic Athletic Association club. It fields teams at all levels from U8 to Senior in Mens and Ladies Gaelic football, Hurling and Camogie. It had its previous pitch, Bredagh Park, taken off them in December 1998 but moved next door to Cherryvale Playing Fields, owned by the Belfast City Council.

Bredagh is one of the few clubs in Down without a pitch to call its own but it is a flourishing and resurgent club benefitting from both a changing demographic in the Ballynafeigh area and from solid work at increased training at underage levels.

In 2006, the footballers won the Down JFC and the Hurlers won Division 3 of the Ulster Club Hurling League.

In 2007 the hurlers won the Down Junior Hurling Championship and Division 2 of the All County Hurling League - both for the first time. The under 14 side of 2007 also preformed superbly beating a mighty kilcoo side in one of the best preformances by an underage bredagh side, they also got to ED U-14 championship final and finished runners up in the ED U-14 football league this was a repeat of what this side did whilst at U-12 level. Also in 2007 the U-14 side beat fierce rivals Carryduff GAC home and away.
