History

The Ballinascarthy club was formed in 1945. The current club caters for 20 teams of all age groups from under 6 years and upwards in both hurling and football.

The first material success came in 1956 when the junior (2) Footballers captured the

Bantry Blues
and Skibbereen.

Hurling was revived in the club in 1961, and three years later in 1964 the club captured their first hurling silverware when defeating

Gabriel Rangers were defeated in the final. Again, the team bowed-out at the semi-final stage to eventual county champions Donoughmore.[citation needed
]

The junior A hurlers captured their first title in 1989 when landing the Flyer Nyhan trophy after defeating Newcestown in the final. As a bonus, the league trophy was added later that year following an inter-divisional county campaign which just eluded them after a replay defeat by

Cork Junior Hurling Championship
winners.

The club has been successful at minor and U21 level over the years winning a hurling and football double in 1985. The club's first county title success was secured in 2004 when the minor hurlers brought home the Cork Minor B Hurling Championship. The first county title at adult level was secured by the under 21 hurlers, capturing the Cork Under 21 B Hurling Championship in 2013.
