History edit
Located in the Rhebogue area on the banks of the River Shannon, St Patrick's GAA Club is one of the oldest clubs in Limerick, having been founded in 1886.[1] It remains the oldest-surviving city club. The club enjoyed Gaelic football success in its early years, winning back-to-back Limerick SFC titles at the expense of Commercials in 1890 and 1891. Half a century passed before the club enjoyed what could arguably be described as its most successful period. Further Limerick SFC titles were won in 1943, 1944 and 1954, while St Patrick's also claimed consecutive Limerick SHC titles in 1949 and 1950.[2] The club's most recent success was a Limerick JAHC title in 2017.[3]
