MELBOURNE SHAMROCKS G.A.C. Melbourne Shamrocks is Victoria’s newest hurling club formed in 2004 by John McIntyre (Offaly), Mick White (Offaly) and Ian Dargan (Cork).

The club was officially formed on 6th February at Father Flanagan’s pub in Smith Street Collingwood. It was decided that the team colours would be emerald green and white, reflecting the emerald fields of Ireland. A lot of hard work has been put into the fledgling club to get it up and running by it's founding members - some of whom have been committed members of Gaelic Park, providing unflagging support to both the park and Gaelic Sports in Australia for many years.

In Melbourne there has traditionally been more football than hurling, but with the entry of a new hurling team into the Gaelic Park season having sparked a competitive competition and greater interest in Victorian Hurling. From this foundation, the club is looking in the future to becoming a strong force in hurling in Melbourne. We hope to achieve this by developing our current player base and by the continued support of our fantastic supporters.

Melbourne Shamrocks centres around not only training and match play, but on maintaining a strong social focus to the club with formal and informal social activities being organised through out the year. New member’s and players are always welcome at the club. Refer to the Contact page for more information.
