History
Dungiven has two Gaelic Athletic Association clubs. The Gaelic football club called Dungiven GAC was founded in 1943 and originally included a hurling section. In 1981 the hurling section of Dungiven GAC was renamed in honour of Kevin Lynch from Dungiven who died on the 1981 Irish hunger strike, whilst the football team retained the existing name. Kevin Lynch's club retained the hurling honours won as Dungiven as part of its history.
