Naomh Fionnbarra GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club that fields gaelic football teams in competitions organised by Louth GAA. It is located in the townland of Ballynagassan, part of Togher parish.
As of 2023, the club competes in the Louth Junior Championship and Division 3A of the county football Leagues. Former Louth goalkeeper Stuart Reynolds is the manager of the senior team.
History
The club was founded in 1957 when St Colmcille's of Togher and neighbouring club Walshestown Rovers amalgamated.
Clinching the Old Gaels Cup in 1997 as Intermediate League winners ensured that Naomh Fionnbarra would play Senior football for the first time.
Naomh Fionnbarra's victory in the replayed final of the 2001 Louth Intermediate Football Championship was their most significant to date, as the 0–15 to 1–08 win against Seán McDermott's gave the club a first ever adult Championship title.
Naomh Fionnbarra Ladies' football team won the 2011 Louth Junior Championship and the Louth Intermediate Championship in 2022.
The club shares pitches and facilities with fellow parish side St Anne's Camogie club.
