Banteer GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club which is based in the village of Banteer in County Cork, Ireland. The club plays hurling and is affiliated with Lyre Gaelic Football Club from the same parish. Founded in 1887,[1] the club competes in the Duhallow Junior A Hurling Championship.
Banteer is a dual club, competing in a similar level in both football and hurling. However, the hurling team has had more success, winning the Duhallow Junior A Hurling Championship on 8 occasions. By comparison, the football team has won the Duhallow Junior A Football Championship on 3 occasions (2 under the name of Lyre). Banteer won the 2006 Duhallow Junior A Hurling Championship and lost to eventual winners Kilworth in the quarter-finals of the 2006 Cork Junior A Hurling Championship.
The club's rivals include Kanturk, Kilbrin and Dromtarriffe who are all situated close to Banteer. The club's home colours are red and white with white shorts and red socks. Having won eight Duhallow titles and runners-up on a record 13 occasions, the club is the fifth-most successful club in the championship.
