The Cork County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (or Cork GAA) is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic Games in County Cork. The county board is also responsible for the Cork inter-county football, hurling, camogie and ladies football teams. The Cork branch of the Gaelic Athletic Association was founded on December 19, 1886, making it the second oldest branch of the organisation.

In terms of All-Ireland honours Cork leads the way with 113 titles at all levels in Gaelic football and hurling. Cork is the most successful hurling county, having won its 30th All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship title in 2005. The county has won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship on six occasions.

History

Cork are the most successful team in hurling. They have won the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship thirty times as of 2005. The county holds a number of distinctive records in hurling championship history. They were the first team to win back-to-back titles in 1892 and 1893. A third successive win in 1895 gave Cork the distinction of being the first county to win three-in-a-row.

The Cork team of the 1940s has been described as one of the greatest teams of all time. Of the 10 All-Ireland finals held in the decade, Cork participated in six of them and won five. During that period the team set another record by winning four consecutive finals in a row, a feat which has never been equalled.

Since then Cork have achieved two three-in-a-rows (1952-54 & 1976-78) and in 2004 and 2005 they achieved back-to-back titles.
