Erin's Own GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in Glounthaune, County Cork, Ireland. The club fields teams in hurling, Gaelic football, camogie and ladies football.

History

Located in the Little Island, Knockraha, Brooklodge and Glounthaune areas of East Cork, Erin's Own GAA Club was founded in 1963 following the amalgamation of the Knockraha and Little Island clubs. The club spent its early years operating at junior level, however, the winning of four East Cork JHC titles between 1973 and 1979 lead to the club's hurling team upgrading to the Cork IHC in 1980.

Erin's Own secured Cork IHC titles in 1984 and 1987 before claiming their very first Cork SHC title in 1992. Two years later, the club claimed its first Gaelic football successes when, after winning their inaugural East Cork JAFC title, Erin's Own claimed the Cork JAFC title.

The turn of the century saw Erin's Own enjoy one of its most successful periods. The club claimed a second Cork JAFC title in 2005, before winning back-to-back Cork SHC titles in 2006 and 2007.
