Our Club
The Skibbereen Gaelic Athletic Association was founded on November 8th 1887, at a meeting in the Town Hall. It was one of the first clubs formed in West Cork and in the early days was called the William O’Brien Branch.
Skibbereen won its first county title in football in what was then known as the middle grade in 1913. Skibbereen won a county intermediate football title in 1924.
The early 1930s was a particularly successful period for hurling and Skibbereen won three divisional junior titles in 31, 32 and 33 and were most unlucky to be beaten in three successive county finals.
Since the early 1960s the club has enjoyed more prosperity in football. On the field of play, the club has enjoyed huge success at underage level since the 1970s. In football the club stepped up to intermediate ranks in 1983 and won the county intermediate title in 1985.
In 1992 came the ultimate success when the club won the county senior football championship and went on to also capture the Munster and All-Ireland senior club titles.
