Hurling


Although Portarlington are a predominantly football club, they have had adult hurling teams in the past and reached finals of the Junior Hurling Championship in 1937, 1946 and 1960. As of the 21st century, hurling has started up again in Portarlington at underage fielding teams up to U17.
At adult level, hurlers from Portarlington play with Mountmellick for adult and U20; This arrangement was in place, in April 2024, on the condition that it would change if Portarlington had enough numbers for their own adult team.
