History
Located in the parish of Barryroe, about 16km from Clonakilty, Barryroe GAA Club was established in 1892. The club draws its players from the villages of Courtmacsherry, Butlerstown, Lislevane and surrounding areas. The club has spent the majority of its existence operating in the junior grade and, like many other clubs, has also seen various periods of inactivity. The club was reformed in 1961.
Barryroe made their hurling breakthrough in 1981 when the South West JAHC title was won for the first time.{{cite web|url=https://www.southernstar.ie/sport/latest-instalment-of-local-derby-evokes-memories-of-past-finals-between-barryroe-and-kilbrittain-4209280|title=Latest instalment of local derby evokes memories of past finals between Barryroe and Kilbrittain|publisher=The Southern Star|date=1 August 2020|accessdate=10 June 2025|first=|last=}} The club has won seven divisional titles in all, between that initial success in 1981 and 2007.{{cite web|url=http://www.carberygaa.ie/contentPage/10059762/j_u_n_i_o_r_a_h_u_r_l_i_n_g_r_o_l_l_o_f_h_o_n_o_u_r|title=South West Junior A Hurling roll of honour|publisher=Carbery GAA website|date=|accessdate=10 June 2025|first=|last=}} The last of these was subsequently converted into a Cork JAHC title after a 2-19 to 2-13 defeat of Chareville in the final.{{cite web|url=http://homepage.eircom.net/~kod/junior_a_county_hurling_finals_2.htm|title=Junior A County Hurling Finals 1971 - Present|publisher=Cork GAA finals website|date=|accessdate=11 December 2017|first=|last=}} Barryroe were later beaten by Moyle Rovers in the 2007 Munster Club JHC final.{{cite web|url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-20050657.html|title=Moyle Rovers cruise to historic title victory|publisher=Irish Examiner|date=17 December 2007|accessdate=11 December 2017|first=|last=}}
