Carey Faughs GAC is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in Ballyvoy, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The club is primarily concerned with the game of hurling.

History

Located in the village of Ballyvoy in the Glens of Antrim, Carey Faughs GAC was founded in 1903 by Dennis Maguire and Patrick Moore. The club was only three years in existence when they won the first of their three Antrim SHC titles in 1906. Carey Faughs have also claimed Antrim IHC and Antrim JHC titles and were the inaugural Ulster intermediate club hurling final-winners in 2004. The club name derives from the war cry Faugh A Ballagh and the barony of Cary |Cary, named for the ancient Gaelic tribe of the Cothrugu, although the club's official name uses the folk etymology Cathaoir an Rí.
