Ballinderreen GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Ballinderreen, County Galway, Ireland. The club was founded in 1884. The parish already was deeply rooted in hurling before the foundation of the GAA.
The club is situated in South Galway, in the parish of Ballinderreen. The club has produced a number of inter-county hurlers throughout the years, several of whom have gone on to win All Ireland medals with Galway.
The club has little success in terms of senior championship silverware, but it has been successful in juvenile age groups, winning several underage championships.
The club's senior team last advanced as far as the Galway Senior Hurling Championship county final in 1978, with Noel Lane in the attack. They met Ardrahan in the decider. The game was held in Ballinasloe, with the game eventually ending in a draw on a scoreline of Ballinderreen 0âÂÂ16, Ardrahan 2âÂÂ10. The replay was held later, with Ardrahan winning their 11th title after extra time on a scoreline of Ardrahan 2-18 Ballinderreen 2âÂÂ14.
