[edit] History

The oldest piece of evidence which shows the existence of hurling in Newtownshandrum comes in the form of a medal inscribed "Newtown Hurling Club" 1896. An old ballad is the first record of a Newtownshandrum hurling game played in nearby Milford. In spite of having a population of little more than 800 people, Newtownshandrum has become one of the most successful hurling clubs in Cork over the last decade, winning senior honours at Cork, Munster and All-Ireland levels.
