It fields teams at every age group in both Gaelic football and hurling and is the only dual club in county Cavan.

History

The club was founded in 1894 by a number of emigrants who returned from Scotland to their home town of Cootehill upon their retirement. They named the club Cootehill Celtic after Glasgow Celtic FC which had been formed by a Marist priest from County Mayo called Brother Walfrid in 1888. Both clubs wear the same colours and fly the tricolour at home games.[citation needed]

Kit

Traditionally Cootehill Celtic have always worn green and white hooped jerseys.
