Shane O'Neill's Gaelic Athletic Club (Irish: CLG Sheáin Uí Néill) is a GAA club from Camloch, southern County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It is part of Armagh GAA and its grounds are known as Páirc Sheáin Uí Néill.
Shane O'Neill's currently plays Gaelic football in the Armagh Intermediate Championship. In addition to its senior and reserve team, it fields youth teams at Under-6, U-8, U-10, U-12, U-14, U-16, Minor and U-21.Ladies' Gaelic football is played at senior and juvenile levels. The associated camogie club is Méabh O'Neill's. In all, the club fields 14 teams at all age levels, involving over 250 players.
Camloch (also spelt Camlough) was one of the earliest places in Armagh to organise a GAA club, the first having affiliated in 1888, and despite its small population, currently has three GAA clubs (the others being St Patrick's Carrickcruppen GFC and Craobh Rua Camloch hurling club).
The 1888 club, William O'Brien's GFC, named after Land League agitator and nationalist MP William O'Brien (1852-1928), was affected by the political rifts that followed the death of Parnell in 1891, and the name William O'Brien's was dropped. Shane O'Neill's, founded in 1905 and named after the 16th-century Ulster king Seán an díomais Ó Néill, is essentially a continuation of the first club.
In 1944 the formation of the Carrickcruppen club led to a number of players leaving Shane O'Neill's. This weakened the club and eventually, hit by emigration, the club was unable to sustain its activities, and disbanded in 1967.
