History

Centred around Cork city and it's wider hinterland, Seandún GAA Division was founded on 1 April 1925.^[1] The division derives its name from Shandon, whose bells are a symbol of Cork city and form part of the divison's crest. Seandún was one of a number of divisions established around that time in an effort to improve the administrative organisation of the GAA in Cork and to provide competitions for the ever-increasing number of clubs, particularly at junior level.^[2] Respective competitions in both hurling and Gaelic football were organised in 1926, with College Rovers becoming the inaugural winner of the City JHC and Geraldines claiming the City JFC.^[3][4]

Seandún fielded a hurling team in the Cork SHC for the first time in 1934. The team was composed of players from junior and intermediate clubs in the division and reached the semi-finals. Seandún has reached six semi-finals in total but has never contested a final. Seandún has also fielded a Gaelic football team in the Cork SFC. The division's only semi-final appearance ended with a defeat by Clonakilty in 1968.^[5]

Further B-grade and C-grade competitions in both hurling and Gaelic football were created by the Seandún Board over time.^[6][7] The Seandún divisional teams' participation in the respective Cork SHC and SFC has been sporadic in recent times.^[8]
