History

The parish of Kilmurry Ibrickane is situated roughly mid-way in the west coast of Clare. It has a population of approximately 4800 and three villages Quilty, Mullagh and Coore. A club bearing the parish name did not come into existence until 1914.

In the 1970s the club amalgamated with Quilty GAA. The club kept the name Kilmurry-Ibrickane GAA but started playing on the grounds of Quilty GAA.

In 2004 the club won its first Munster Senior Club Championship when they defeated the Waterford champions Stradbally in a replay on a scoreline of 0–9 to 0–8. In December 2009 a second Munster club title was won when Kerry champions Kerins O'Rahillys were defeated on a score line of 7 points to 6.[1] In February 2010, the club reached the 2010 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship final with a 1–14 to 0–8 victory against Portlaise.[2] In the final on 17 March 2010, Kilmurry lost to St Gall's of Antrim by 1–05 to 0–13 before 34,357 in Croke Park.[3][4]
