History
Cabinteely GAA Club was founded in 1977 and shortly thereafter acquired home grounds at the newly developed Kilbogget Park, Cabinteely. [2] The clubhouse at Kilbogget Park was opened in 1995 by which stage the club fielded juvenile teams, 2 adult football teams as well as an adult hurling team. In the late 1990s, the club fielded its first girls' football teams and this would later lead to the formation of Foxrock Cabinteely.
