Claregalway GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Claregalway, County Galway, Ireland. The club is a member of the Galway GAA. Underage teams up to U-16's play in the Galway league and championships, while the Minor, Under-21 and Senior teams compete in all further levels.
Although not a traditional stronghold of football, the success of the County Galway football teams in the 1950s/60s stimulated the imagination of local football enthusiasts. It was not long after Galways "Three In A Row" that the football club was founded in 1968.
Notable players include Brian O'Donoghue and Dan Cummins. Danny and Adrian are members of the county panel. Current Cork panellist Paddy Moran is a former underage star with the club.
