Na Piarsaigh are a Hurling and Gaelic football club based in the north side of Cork, County Cork, Ireland. The club was founded in 1943. Their senior hurling team have won 3 county senior hurling championships, the last one in October 2004. This team who won the 2004 final was notable for having 3 brothers (the Ó hAilpín brothers) on this team. Two of these brothers Setanta Ó hAilpín and Aisake are currently playing Australian rules football for Carlton Australian Rules football club. The eldest, Seán Óg, still plays for Na Piarsaigh and for the Cork senior hurling team. John Gardiner is also a current player. Na Piarsaigh also has more Féile na nGael titles than any other team.
Club crest
In 1951 the club adopted the Red Hand of Ulster as its crest - with the thumb "symbolically severed" to demonstrate empathy with the six counties still under "foreign [UK] rule".[1]
