History

Killavullen GAA club is one of the oldest official clubs in North Cork, having been founded on 15 February 1888 under the auspices of the then newly formed Gaelic Athletic Association. [citation needed] With the exception of a North Cork Junior hurling championship that they annexed in 1929, the club toiled away without much success.[citation needed] Persistence paid off in 1962 when the club contested the final of the Avondhu Novice hurling Championship and won this competition in 1968.[citation needed] The club made a breakthrough in football in 1963, which was the club's first football title. They went out to further glory in 1979 when they were crowned North Cork Junior (B) Hurling League Champions. [citation needed]
