History
Located in the parish of Barryroe, about 16km from Clonakilty, Barryroe GAA Club was established in 1892. The club draws its players from the villages of Courtmacsherry, Butlerstown, Lislevane and surrounding areas. The club has spent the majority of its existence operating in the junior grade and, like many other clubs, has also seen various periods of inactivity. The club was reformed in 1961.
Barryroe made their hurling breakthrough in 1981 when the South West JAHC title was won for the first time. The club has won seven divisional titles in all, between that initial success in 1981 and 2007. The last of these was subsequently converted into a Cork JAHC title after a 2-19 to 2-13 defeat of Chareville in the final. Barryroe were later beaten by Moyle Rovers in the 2007 Munster Club JHC final.
Barryroe made a Gaelic football breakthrough in 2023 when the club beat Kilmacabea by 1–12 to 0–14 to win the Carbery JAFC title for the first time in their history.
