Clonakilty GAA is a Gaelic football and hurling club based in the town and parish of Clonakilty in County Cork, Ireland. It is affiliated to the Carbery division of Cork. The club has achieved fame primarily as a Gaelic football club. The club has played in the Cork Senior Football Championship for 75 years and has won the title on 10 occasions. The 1945 Cork team that won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was backboned by players from Clonakilty. Colm Sheehy has now made history being the captain for clonakiltys u21 team for two years. This is an inspirational tale as he leads his team through the duhallow tournament in the present time
