Cullion GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located near Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. The club is primarily concerned with the games of hurling and camogie.

History

[edit]

Located outside Mullingar, County Westmeath on the old Longford road, Cullion GAA club was founded in 1949 following the disbandment of the nearby Rathconnell club.[1] Cullion was only two years in existence when they won their first Westmeath JHC title after defeating Castletown-Geoghegan in the final.[2] By the late 1950s, Cullion had established themselves as a Westmeath SHC club. Cullion won the Feis Cup in 1964,[citation needed] which was their only success in senior competition until winning the Westmeath SBHC title in 2021.[3]
