History
Located in the town of Charleville on the Cork-Limerick border, Rathluirc GAA Club, laterrenamed Charleville GAA Club, was founded in 1888. The original colours were black and white, with the nickname of the Magpies bestowed, and the club drawing players from a wide area around North Cork. After the introduction of the parish rule the colours were changed to red and white.[1]
Charleville had its first major success in 1914 when it was awarded the Cork IHC title, after receiving a walkover from Shamrocks.[2] A North Cork JHC title was won in 1945, followed by consecutive Cork IHC titles in 1946 and 1947 after a decision was taken to make the step up to the higher grade.[3][4] After securing senior status, the club eventually regraded to intermediate and eventually back to the junior ranks. Charleville continued to have divisonal success and won eight North Cork JHC titles between 1970 and 2011.[5]
