History
editLocated in the parish of Inniscarra, about 10 miles west of Cork, Inniscarra GAA Club was founded in 1886.[1] The newly established club took part in the inaugural Cork SHC in 1887. Inniscarra reached the final of that competition in 1891, but were beaten by Blackrock.[2]
Inniscarra later operated in the junior ranks and won eight Mid Cork JHC titles between 1935 and 1975. The last title was subsequently converted into a Cork JHC title after a 5–07 to 3–08 defeat of Ballymartle in the final.[3][4] Nearly 50 years after this title success, Inniscarra won the Cork PIHC title following a 3–12 to 1–17 win over Castlemartyr in a replay.[5]
Inniscarra has also won two Mid Cork JAFC titles during their history.[6] The club beat Ballygarvan by a point to win the Cork JAFC title in 2024.[7]
