Sport

Aghadowey is a popular angling area, with anglers fishing both the River Bann and the Agivey River. Aghadowey Stadium hosts regular motorcycle racing, stock car racing, and also rallying as a RallySport Association event, on the disused RAF Mullaghmore airfield. Aghadowey was the home circuit of the Motor Cycle Road Racing Club of Ireland and was first used for racing in 1975, after the club was forced to vacate their previous circuit at Maghaberry to make way for a new prison development.
Aghadowey F.C. was founded in 1968 when the Coleraine and district league formed, before this they played as Agivey. They have notable rivalries with both Garvagh F.C. and Kilrea F.C.
