BALLINROBE GAA Club is regarded one of the most progressive GAA Clubs in the county. We have been honoured with the South Mayo GAA Club of the Year award in recent years.
The Club was founded in 1887, and it enjoys a long and noble tradition in the GAA. Some great players from the club have worn the Mayo jersey – Tommy O’Malley, Peter Ford, Seamus O’Malley, Fergal Costello, Michael and Ruairi Keane, and Sean Grimes.
In the past 20 years, Ballinrobe won every Championship in Mayo in the A grade – with the notable exception of the Senior Championship. We have won the U12, U14, U16, Minor, U21, Junior and Intermediate Championships – the most recent being the U21 and Intermediate double in 2000, players from which teams form the backbone of our current Intermediate team.
Ballinrobe GAA Club provides a sporting outlet for up to 260 footballers in the following age-groups:
Ø U12 Boys and Girls
Ø U14 Boys and Girls
Ø U16 Boys and Girls
Ø Minor Boys
Ø U21 Men
Ø Junior Men

Ballinrobe GAA Club makes a very important contribution to community, sporting and social life in Ballinrobe. We offer a healthy lifestyle to people of all ages, and we take our role in the community very seriously. In recent years, we have produced three high-quality Publications:
Ø A Century of Memories – 100 Years of Photographs of Ballinrobe
