Douglas Hurling and Football Club is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Douglas, Cork, Ireland. The club is affiliated to the Seandún Board and fields teams in Gaelic football, hurling and camogie.
History
Located in the suburb of Douglas on the southside of Cork, Douglas Hurling Club was founded in 1887 and took part in the first ever Cork SHC that year. The club went onto a period of decline and in 1918 a new club called Castletreasure represented the area. Following the breakup of the Castletreasure Club in 1926, there was no club in the parish until the St Columba's club was formed. This club was officially renamed Douglas Hurling and Football Club in 1938.
Hurling was initially the dominant sport in the club, however, Gaelic football made the breakthrough in 1962 when Douglas claimed the Cork JFC title.
Douglas came close to completing a league-championship double in 2008, however, they lost out to Nemo Rangers in the 2008 Cork SFC final.
