Shelmaliers GAA Club
More Than A Club. The Heartbeat Of The Community.
Shelmaliers GAA isn’t just a name on a jersey. It’s a club built around hurling, football and camogie that’s been pulling generations through its gates since 1886.
When you buy a ticket for our Win A House In Wexford fundraiser, not only are you rolling the dice on a brand-new home… you’re putting your name behind a club that’s been part of the fabric of these parishes for nearly 140 years.
Our Story
Our finest hour came in 1910, when Wexford, represented by Castlebridge, won the County’s first ever All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. The men of this parish wore that jersey.

Where Champions Are Made
In the 1970s the club moved to its current home at Hollymount. Today, Shelmaliers operates three full-size pitches, with land already secured for a fourth.
But facilities don’t build themselves. Coaches need gear. Pitches need upkeep. Floodlights, dressing rooms, gym equipment, kit for the kids — it all costs money. That’s where you come in.
Where Your Money Goes
Every euro raised through Win A House In Wexford goes straight back into the club. We’re talking real, tangible improvements:
- Facilities, maintenance and development
- Modern facilities for our hurling, football and camogie sections
- Gear and kit for our nursery and underage players
- Long-term investment in the next generation of Shelmaliers players
- Developing further community activities
This is how clubs survive. This is how they thrive. And this is how a small parish in the sunny south east keeps producing players who go on to wear the purple and gold.
