St Patrick's GAA (Irish: CLG Naomh Pádraig) is a Gaelic Athletic Association located in the Rhebogue area of Limerick City, Ireland. The club fields teams in both hurling and Gaelic football.

History

[edit]

Located in the Rhebogue area on the banks of the River Shannon, St Patrick's GAA Club is one of the oldest clubs in Limerick, having been founded in 1886.[1] It remains the oldest-surviving city club. The club had several successes in Gaelic football in its early years, winning back-to-back Limerick SFC titles at the expense of Commercials in 1890 and 1891. Half a century passed before the club enjoyed what could arguably be described as its most successful period.[original research?] Further Limerick SFC titles were won in 1943, 1944 and 1954, while St Patrick's also claimed consecutive Limerick SHC titles in 1949 and 1950.[2] The club's most recent success was a Limerick JAHC title in 2017. The club recently completed the building of a new club house in May 2024.
