Located in the village of
Castletownroche, about halfway between
Mallow and
Fermoy, Castletownroche GAA Club was established in 1888. The new club competed in the
Cork SHC in its early years, however, Castletown's first appearance in the
final ended by conceding a walkover to
St Finabrr's, following a dispute over the choice of the
Cork Athletic Grounds as the venue. Castletownroche later lost the
1907 Cork SHC final to
Dungourney by 5–17 to 0–03. Castletownroche spend much of the next 50 years operating in the junior grade, and won five
North Cork JHC titles between 1928 and 1960. The last of these divisional titles was subsequently converted into a
Cork JHC title after beating
Cloyne in the
final. Two years later, Castletownroche secured senior status once again, after winning the
Cork IHC title. The club, once again, slipped down the grades in the decades that followed, however, Castletownroche won
Cork JBHC titles in 1998 and 2019. ==Honours==
