The Clare County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Coiste Contae an Chláir) or Clare GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in County Clare. Clare plays its home games at Cusack Park in Ennis.
The Clare Hurling team compete in the Munster championship which it has won six times, most recently in 1998. Clare has won the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship four times in its history. They won their first title in 1914 and it took another 81 years for them to win their next title in 1995, which remains the record wait for a successive title in Senior Championship history. Clare won their most recent two titles in 1997 and 2013. Clare compete in Division 1 of the National Hurling League, and are currently the defending champions.
Cusack Park (Páirc Uí Chíosóg in Irish) is a GAA stadium located in the town of Ennis, County Clare, Ireland. It is the home of the Clare Gaelic football and hurling teams. Named after the founder of the Gaelic Athletic Association, Michael Cusack, the ground has had a capacity of about 28,000 (mostly terraced), but following a 2011 safety review, the certified capacity was reduced to 14,864. Three sides of the ground are terraced, the two areas behind the goals and one terraced length of the pitch which is also covered. The finals of the Clare Senior Hurling Championship and the Clare Senior Football Championship are held each year in the stadium.
Hurling has been played in Clare for centuries and Michael Cusack, founder of the GAA, was born in Carron in the north the county.
At senior level, Clare have won 6 Munster titles and 4 All-Ireland championships.
