Emeralds GAA is a junior Gaelic Athletic Association club located in Urlingford, County Kilkenny, Ireland. The club was founded in 1972 and almost exclusively fields teams in hurling.
They spent 14 seasons in intermediate grade in Kilkenny before being relegated in 2015 back to the junior grade.
History
In the early years of the 20th, century hurling was very strong in the parish of Urlingford with three teams competing. – Graine, Urlingford and Clomanto. Despite large competition, it was clear that a unified parish hurling team would provide a stronger and more capable force to compete against the larger parishes of the county.
The Emeralds club was formed in 1972 when both Clomanto and Urlingford united under the new name of Emeralds.
