Dunloy Cuchullains was founded in 1908 as a dual club and has been in continuous existence since then.

In the early years the club depended on the goodwill of the local farming community for fields on which to play their matches. There are eleven different fields around the village where matches were played between 1908 and 1945. Some of these matches were County Finals and Semi-finals.
The officials of the club had for a long time realised that the Club needed a ground for itself, as Gaelic Games were becoming more and more popular and were now being played by both genders. In 1945 the decision was taken to purchase the present playing field beside the school. An extensive renovation took place to turn three small fields into one and in May 1950 Pearse Park was officially opened by Most Rev. Hugh Boyle, Bishop of Johannesburg and a native of Dunloy. A cup that Dr. Boyle presented to the Club to mark this occasion is on display in the clubrooms.

Another major redevelopment of the grounds was undertaken in the late fifties.
The pitch was leveled and drained and concrete posts with chain link wire was erected around the pitch. Two Extra changing rooms were added, new toilets and showers were installed to leave Pearse park one of the leading grounds in Ulster.

In the mid sixties due to the increased activity one pitch was no longer able to cope with the number of games so a second pitch was purchased. This served its purpose and without any major development was used for training and for football games which were played mainly in the winter and spring. In 1994 the second field was leveled lengthened and fenced. It was officially opened by Jack Boothman Uachtran Cuman Leas Cleas Gael in 1995.

The next major development was to build new changing rooms, fitness suite and social area. Ti Cuchullain was completed and opened by Sean McCague Uachtran Cuman Leas Cleas Gael in 2001. This was major initiative as the subject of a licensed social club had been debated in the club since the 1960s.

Our main pitch has been reconstructed which included extending the playing surface, refencing the pitch, extending the existing terracing and the erection of ball stops to both pitches. Due to the imminent safety regulations regarding sports venues our Club took the decision to remove the grass embankment on the north side of the pitch and replace it with hardcore. A tarmac drive was constructed from the main entrance to the club house to give better access to the terracing and to the clubrooms.

A major project is at present being planned and will commence Sept 09. It is an exciting and innovative project consisting of an indoor 3 rd Generation Astro Turf playing surface with ball walls and a fitness suite. We see this as the next step in developing the indoor juvenile game which is growing in popularity in North Antrim and attracting teams from South Antrim as well as Derry Donegal and Armagh.

Brief History of Dunloy Cuchullains Camogie Club

The Camogie Club was formed in 1933 and immediately became an intricate part of the GAA Club although they were two different organizations. Cuchullains are justifiable proud that this tradition, started at the formation of the Camogie Club continues to this day.

The women took part in the day to day running of the club and were afforded equal rights to playing facilities and travel as their counter parts. The early years of camogie in Dunloy were uneventful and it was not until the mid-forties that the golden era began.

This lasted for twenty years but camogie declined rapidly in the late sixties and early seventies.
Because more competitions were now organized by North Antrim and the County once again camogie started to prosper with more young people playing and getting involved in the running of the club.

It was in the Nineties that Cuchullains once again became a force in the senior ranks and are still contending for All County Honours.
