Located in the village of
Minane Bridge, about 5 km from
Carrigaline, Tracton GAA Club was established in 1888. The club entered a team in the
1888 Cork SHC and, playing in the South Cork division, were beaten by
Carrigaline in the
opening round. Tracton has, since then, spent the majority of its existence operating in the junior grades. Tracton won the first of seven
South East JAHC titles in 1929. The club made a major breakthrough in 1957 by winning the
Cork JHC title for the first time. A second Cork JHC title was won in 1979 after a defeat of
Castletownroche in the
final. Tracton secured
senior status for the first time in their history in 1991, when they beat
Inniscarra by 4–15 to 5–09 to win the
Cork IHC title. While Tracton has been dominated by hurling since its foundation, the club has also won three
South East JAFC titles since 1983. ==Honours==
