Malin GAA is a Gaelic games club based in Malin in County Donegal, Ireland.
It is the northernmost GAA club in Ireland.[1] This tends to cause logistical struggles during the league as many of their rivals are a great distance away.[2] One example of the distance travelled would be the 320-kilometre round trip required to play an away fixture to Naomh Columba.[3]
The club participated in the Donegal Senior Football Championship from 2004 onwards.[4]
It was also club of the year in 2003.[citation needed]
Declan Walsh, a member of the 2012 All-Ireland winning county team, played for them.[5][6]
The club is also home to 2012's "Number One Real Supporter", according to a national survey.[7][8]
Liam Bradley, previously manager of the Antrim county football team, was an unexpected managerial appointment by the club in January 2015.[9] He left the same year.[10]
The 2019 Donegal Senior Football Championship resulted in the club's descent to the intermediate ranks.
The club contested the 2023 Donegal Intermediate Football Championship final, losing to Na Dúnaibh.[11]
