Madden Raparees Gaelic Athletic Club (Irish: Ropairí na Madán) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club from near the townland of Madden, County Armagh, Northern Ireland.[1] The club is part of Armagh GAA and plays Gaelic football in the Armagh Senior Championship.[1] They play at Raparee Park (Irish: Páirc na Ropairí) in Maghery Kilcrany, located just 2.6 miles to the northeast of Madden.[2]
The club takes its name from the raparees (pikemen), a term applied to guerrilla fighters on the Jacobite side during the 1690s Williamite war in Ireland, and subsequently to bandits and highwaymen.[citation needed]
