History

Located in the village of Newcestown, about 8 miles from Bandon, Newcestown GAA Club was founded on 17 December 1958 and played its first game, against Kilmeen, in the spring of 1959. Success came immediately, with the club winning several divisional titles in both hurling and Gaelic football throughout the 1960s. Newcestown's second Carbery Junior A [Football Championship|Southwest JFC] title in 1967 was subsequently converted into a Cork JFC title after a defeat of Midlton in the final. The club secured senior status for the first time after winning the Cork IFC title in 1971.
Newcestown claimed the first of three Cork JHC titles in 1972, with further titles being claimed in 1980 and 1992. The club began the new century by winning a second Cork IFC title after a defeat of Nemo Rangers in 2001. This was followed by claiming the Cork PIFC title in 2010 and a return to the top flight. Newcestown added the Cork PIHC title in 2015 and became a dual senior club for the first time in their history. In 2023, Newcestown completed a SAHC-SAFC double after respective defeats of Blarney and Dohenys.
