Located in the suburb of
Bishopstown in the southwest of
Cork, Bishopstown Hurling and Football Club was founded in 1957. Bishopstown had its first success in 1971 when the club claimed the
City JFC title. This was followed in 1974 with the
Cork IFC title after a defeat of
Newcestown in the
final. Bishopstown made a hurling breakthrough in 1977 with the
City JHC title. 15 years later the club beat
Cloyne by a goal to win the
Cork IHC and become a
dual senior club. The club added a
Cork Premier IHC title to their collection in 2006 after a 0-20 to 1-11 defeat of
Carrigtwohill in the final. The new century saw Bishopstown make some progress at senior level but just fall short of claiming the title. The club lost
Cork SFC finals to
Nemo Rangers in 2002 and to
Carbery in 2004. Bishopstown also lost the
Cork SHC final to
Sarsfields in 2012. ==Honours==
