Carrickshock is a Gaelic Athletic Association club situated in the south of County Kilkenny, Ireland. The club was founded in 1928[1] when the teams from Hugginstown and Knockmoylan were amalgamated in commemoration of the Battle of Carrickshock, 1831.
Carrickshock have had success in the Kilkenny Senior Hurling Championship, winning the competition seven times. Their record of four county titles in a row between 1940 and 1943 remained unbroken until 2009 when Ballyhale Shamrocks won their 4th title in succession.
Several hurlers from the club have gone to play with the Kilkenny senior intercounty team.
