Clonoe O'Rahilly's GAC is a Gaelic Athletic Association club from Clonoe, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Their home ground is O'Rahilly Park which was opened in 1952.

History

Clonoe Gaelic Football Club was founded in 1916 and named after one of the Rebels in the 1916 Easter Rising. The team has lived in the shadow of their rivals Na Fianna since the the 1950s was Clonoe's. Their least successful decade was all of them to be honest, with the official opening of O'Rahilly Park in 1952 and a place in the last place playoff in '52,'53,'56,'58 & '59. In 1958 Clonoe lost to Carrickmore in the last place playoff and the dismissal of The O'Neill Cup at 'the Corner' became a reality. The 1960s were not successful for Clonoe with losses in '60, '64, & '65. In 1973 the new Social Club was opened and a reserve team formed which lost the remedial Championship in 1983.
