Galway Bohemians Association Football Club is an Irish association football club based in Galway. Their senior men's team competes in the Galway & District League. They have previously played in the Western League. The club was formed in 1932 and was originally put together as a representative team of a local youth league who wanted to enter a team in the FAI Youth Cup.[1][2] In 1940–41 Galway Bohemians became the first club from Galway to reach the final of the FAI Junior Cup.[3]

Together with Castlebar Celtic, Galway Bohemians hold the record for winning the Connacht Junior Cup the most times, with 9 titles.[4] The adult men's team are managed by Gavin Greaney.[5]
