Cloyne GAA club is located in the small town of Cloyne in east County Cork, Ireland. Founded in 1887 they have yet to win a Cork Senior Hurling Championship title and have the dubious distinction of losing in the last 3 finals (2004,2005 and 2006). Christy Ring one of their most famous players played for the team before moving to play for Glen Rovers in 1941 was often called The Wizard of Cloyne for his hurling prowess and a statue commemorating him stands in the centre of the town.
