Sport
The local Gaelic football club, Corofin, have won five All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championships, most recently beating Kilcoo in the 2019-2020 Championship final. They also hold the record for most successive All-Ireland Club Championship titles, winning three-in-a-row between 2017 and 2020.[5] Their team of the 2010s is the most successful, winning the county title seven times, the Connacht Senior Football Championship four times and the All-Ireland Senior Club Championship five times.[citation needed]
Corofin has an athletics team named Corofin AC and a football team named Corofin United.[citation needed]
A Corofin native, Bishop Patrick Duggan of Clonfert, declined the honour of being the first patron of the GAA, giving the honour to the younger man, Archbishop Thomas Croke of Cashel.[citation needed]
