Trumera Gaelic Athletic Association club is a hurling and gaelic football club in County Laois, Ireland.
The present Trumera GAA Club was formed at a meeting at lunchtime in Trumera National School in winter 1969 by the 5th and 6th classes and 2 3rd class students.
An earlier version of Trumera was set up at a gathering of interested people in the 1920s. The team reached a county Junior semi-final against Mountmellick in 1927. Unfortunately they lost that game and the team faded out soon afterwards later that night over a game of cards.
All through the seventies and eighties the club competed in the Laois Junior Hurling Championship without any great success. The nineties brought a change of fortune with the club reaching its first league final in 1990 but since then they have won nothing really.
Since then the club has won Junior C, Junior B, Junior A ,and in 2004 the Laois Intermediate Hurling Championship.
In 2004 Trumera won the Laois Junior "C" Football Championship and also reached the Division 5 ACFL Final but they still have to build some dressing rooms because since 1969 they have been getting changed in each others cars and vans.
