The Carlow County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: Cumann Luthchleas Gael Coiste Ceatharlach) or Carlow GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in County Carlow and the Carlow inter-county teams.
The Carlow Senior footballers compete in the Leinster Senior Football Championship and in Division 4 of the Allianz Football League. The Carlow Senior hurling team compete in the Christy Ring Cup having been relegated from the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship as of 2016. Carlow's senior hurlers also compete in Division 2A of the National Hurling League.
Carlow have claimed very few honours at senior level. A Leinster title was won back in 1944. The final was played in Athy due to the war and Carlow beat Dublin by 2-6 to 1-6. Carlow also lost Leinster finals in 1941 and 1942 to the same opposition. Kerry fisherman-publican Paddy "Bawn" Brosnan kept Carlow from reaching an All-Ireland final in 1944. His second half goal put Carlow out of the All-Ireland semi-final by 3-3 to 0-10.
Ten years later Carlow reached the National League final with a famous 1-10 to 1-7 win over Armagh, but were well beaten by Mayo in the final.
