Colmcille Gaelic Football Club is a Gaelic football and ladies' Gaelic football club based in Aughnacliffe, County Longford, Ireland.[1]

History

Colmcille GFC is named for Saint Colmcille (or Saint Columba) (AD 521–597) who founded Inchmore monastery on nearby Lough Gowna.[2] The club won the very first Longford Senior Football Championship in 1890 as Columbkille St. Columbkilles.[3] They have won six more county senior titles since then, the latest in 2022.[4][5]

Colmcille was one of the first five ladies' Gaelic football teams in Longford, first playing in 1980.[6][7][8]

They play at Fr. Phil McGee Park in Aghacordrinan, south of Aughnacliffe.[9]
