Kilkerrin-Clonberne is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Clonberne, County Galway, Ireland.

History

In his 'Annals of the GAA in Galway 1884-1901', Padraic O'Laoi notes that Clonberne - like Menlough - was initially a hurling club and was one of only 26 clubs in the county to play matches under GAA rules in 1885.

Kilkerrin-Clonberne won the Galway Junior A Football Championship in 1992.[1]

They achieved Senior status in 1996 and have competed in the Galway Senior Club Football Championship up until 2015. They were relegated to the Intermediate ranks by a strong Kilconly side.

In 1999, the Ladies football club in Clonberne won an intermediate club All-Ireland. They were runners up in 2019 Senior All-Ireland Ladies' Club Football Championship.

The club won three All-Ireland Ladies' Club Football Championships in a row, from 2021 to 2023.[2]
