Faugh-a-Ballagh was a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club based in Newry, County Down.
Established in 1902, it was the first GAA club in the town. In its early years, Newry Faughs was one of the most successful clubs in the county winning five hurling championships and four football championships between 1903 and 1910.
Faugh-a-Ballagh remain the only club to win the Down Senior Hurling and Down Senior Football Championship in the same year, a feat which they achieved on three occasions in 1903, 1907 and 1909.
History
Faugh-a-Ballagh was established in Newry during the Gaelic Revival. At its inaugural meeting in March 1902, the committee consisted of A. Lennon, W. McAnulty, T. McCann, J. Bulger, J. Laney, and P. Lavery.
Reorganised in December of the same year, it elected a new president and secretary. The club folded in the 1940s.
