History
Located in the village of Galmoy, on the Laois-Kilkenny border, Galmoy GAA Club was founded in December 1929. The club has spent most of its existence operating in the junior grade, winning three Kilkenny JHC titles and 13 divisional titles. A brief period in the Kilkenny SHC saw the club lose to James Stephens in the 1975 final.[2][3] Galmoy defeated Oran to become the first Kilkenny winners of the All-Ireland Junior Club Championship in 2005.[4][5]
