History

Gaelic games were played in the parish from 1909 by a team called St. Olcan's, but St. Mary's GAC was founded on St Patrick's Day 1943. Initially focusing on hurling, Gaelic football later became the main sport.
Their current grounds at Dreen were built in 1980–83; a second pitch, the Jamesie McLernon Memorial Pitch, was added in 2000.
A Rasharkin player, coach and club official, Gerry Dalrymple, was murdered by the Ulster Defence Association in the 1993 Castlerock killings.
The ladies' football team was founded in 1995, and in 1998 won the club's only county senior title. Rasharkin Camogie Club were integrated into the club in 2010.
