Nemo Rangers Hurling & Football Club is a Cork-based Gaelic Athletic Association club on the southside of Cork city, Ireland. The club was founded in 1922 and is involved in Gaelic football, hurling, Ladies football and Camogie.

History[]

Nemo Rangers Hurling & Football Club was founded in 1922 following the amalgamation of two Cork clubs – Nemo and Rangers. Within six years the new club made their mark winning the county Intermediate Hurling and Football Championships in 1928, a feat that has never been equalled. Since then Nemo has become most notable as a football club. They are the most successful club in the history of the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship, having won the competition a record seven times since its inception in 1971. Nemo have established close links with nearby secondary school, Coláiste Chríost Rí.
