History edit
Located in the village of Mucklagh, on the Tullamore-Birr road, Shamrocks GAA Club was founded on 24 March 1992 following an amalgamation of the St. Carthage's and Mucklagh clubs.[1][2] It followed on from the formation of a Shamrocks underage club in 1992.
Shamrocks enjoyed a successful season in 2000, winning the Offaly U21AFC title as well as the first of three Offaly IHC titles. Further successes were achieved in 2014 and 2022.[3] Shamrocks have also appeared in three Offaly SFC finals in 2000, 2005 and 2007, but have failed to secure the title. The club won the Offaly SBFC title in 2018.[4]
