Athgarvan is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club in Athgarvan, County Kildare, Republic of Ireland, which played a significant role in the development of the GAA in the 1890s.

Gaelic football

Athgarvan competed in the first junior C final in 1975, winning the competition in 1977. Kildare county player David Butler. Youngest ever senior debut for the club was made by starlet prospect Rory (Rozza) O’Donnell at the age of 16 in 2019. Asked about the honour, a delighted Rory said : "It's a real privilege to play for this great club. Hopefully it will be the first of many appearances with the Seniors and I can go on to emulate Club legend Gary "The Mighty" Quinn in having a long and distinguished career." Unfortunately, this was to be Rory's final contribution to the Athgarvan Seniors, as he was soon dropped due to his extreme lack of footballing ability.
