As in most counties outside of the game's heartland of
Munster and south
Leinster, hurling has been less popular than
Gaelic football in
Louth. Currently, only three clubs complete in the
Louth Senior Hurling Championship. They are
Naomh Moninne,
Knockbridge and
St Fechin's. At national level, the county's hurlers have won the former
All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship twice and the
Lory Meagher Cup three times. They have finished runners-up in the
Nicky Rackard Cup competition on four occasions. In 2024, the team was relegated from Division 3A of the National Hurling League to Division 3B. Their
Nicky Rackard Cup championship status was also secured with a fifth-place finish in the table. ==Current Panel==
