# St Finbarr's National Hurling & Football Club

St Finbarr's National Hurling & Football Club or St Finbarr's Hurling and Football Club is a Gaelic games club based in the Togher area of Cork city, County Cork, Ireland. Playing in royal blue and gold jerseys, St Finbarr's fields teams in the sports of Gaelic football and hurling.
St Finbarr's won Cork Senior County Championship titles in every decade except the first decade of the 21st century. This record was almost upheld in 2009 when the club reached the Cork County Senior Football Championship final, only to lose to Clonakilty by one point. Between 1980 and 1982, St Finbarr's won three consecutive Cork County Hurling Championship titles. This feat was not repeated until Imokilly did so between 2017 and 2019.
It was the first club to win All-Ireland Club Championships in both hurling and football. It was the only club to have achieved this feat until Dublin's Cuala did so in by winning the 2024–25 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. As a result of this record, St Finbarr's has 11 players who won an All-Ireland Club SFC and an All-Ireland Club SHC during their careers: John Allen, Jimmy Barry-Murphy, Denis Burns, John Cremin, Eamonn Fitzpatrick, Niall Kennefick, Jerry McCarthy, Christy Myers, Bertie O'Brien, Donal O'Grady and Christy Ryan. Until 2025, Galway's Alan Kerins was the only other player to have achieved this, at which point Dublin's Con O'Callaghan also did so with Cuala.
