History

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. 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. 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.
