St Finbarr's National Hurling & Football Club[1][2] or St Finbarr's Hurling and Football Club[3] is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the Togher area of Cork city, County Cork, Ireland.
St Finbarr's, who play in royal blue and gold jerseys, are the only club in Ireland to win All-Ireland club championships in both hurling and football. The club has won Cork County Senior Championships in every decade except the first decade of the 21st century. This record was almost upheld in 2009 when the club reached the final in the Cork County Senior Football Championship, only to lose out by a point to Clonakilty.
Between 1980 and 1982, the club won three Cork County Hurling Championships in a row. This feat had not been repeated until Imokilly did so between 2017 and Vincent’s
