History
Located in the town of Millstreet, about 30 miles northwest of Cork, Millstreet GAA Club was founded in 1888. The club had its first notable success in 1914, when a 1–03 to 0–00 win over O'Donovan Rossa secured the Cork IFC title.[1] Millstreet claimed a second Cork IFC four years later following a 0–02 to 0–00 win over Knockavilla.[2]
Millstreet was one of the first clubs to affiliate to the newly-established Duhallow Board in 1933.[3] The club operated in the junior ranks for a number of years, befor winning promotion back to the senior grade after winning the Cork JFC title in 1941.[4] Arguably, Millstreet had it's greatest ever success when, in 1948, a John O'Keeffe-captained team beat St Vincent's by 1–02 to 0–03 to win the Cork SFC title for the first and only time in the club's history.[5]
After a number of years in the top flight of Cork football, Millstreet eventually returned to the junior ranks. The club had further Cork JFC title successes in 1963 and 2014.[6][7]
