Nil Desperandum is a defunct Gaelic Athletic Association club which was based in Cork, Ireland. The club was founded in the early years of the Gaelic Athletic Association and was primarily concerned with the game of Gaelic football. "Nils", as they were known, recruited many of their players from those in employment in the large business houses in the city many of whom came from the traditional football areas of the county. The club also drifted towards rugby union in its early years.[1][2]
