Faugh-a-Ballagh was a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club based in Newry, County Down in Ireland. It was established in 1902 and folded in the 1940s.

History

Faugh-a-Ballagh was established in Newry, in 1902, during the Gaelic Revival. It was the first GAA club in the town and held its inaugural meeting in March 1902. It was reorganised in December of the same year and a new president and secretary were elected.

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.

The club folded in the 1940s.
