History

The club was founded in 1886. The club has participated in many great games down through the years. In its early days they would come together (sometimes) with Ballygarvan to form Owenabue Rovers. They lost a Junior County Hurling Final in 1954 but were successful in winning the same competition in 1965. In 1971 Ballinhassig were again defeated in the County Junior Hurling final by Bandon. However the rest of the 1970s proved to be most successful, winning a County Junior in 1973 captained by John Kevin Coleman and Intermediate Titles in both 75 captained by John Joe Spillane and 77 by Tim F Hayes. The club again reached an Intermediate Final in 1983 but were defeated by Cloughduv. The decision was taken to re-grade to Junior in 1990 where many South-East Titles were won. The club reached the County Junior Hurling Final in 1995 and 2000 but were defeated by Killeagh and Nemo Rangers. However success came in 2002 with victory over Fr O'Neills captained by James Ahern. Ballinhassig went on to capture Munster Junior Club vs Ballinahinch of Tipperarry and All Ireland Junior Club vs Black and Whites of Kilkenny also in this year, and went on to win the Premer Intermediate Title in 2005 against Aghada captained by Martin Coleman, Jnr , going on to win the Munster title after beating Ballyduff Upper of Waterford also reached the All Ireland Final of this competition losing to Dicksboro of Kilkenny at Croke Park in a tight contest. While competing in Senior Ranks the club won two senior League Titles in 2007 vs Glen Rovers and 2008 vs Newtownshandrum. Ballinhassig re-took their place in the Senior Hurling Championship in 2013 after winning their fourth Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship, defeating Bandon in the 2012 Premier Intermediate Hurling County Championship final in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. In 2012 Ballinhassig also won their first ever South East Junior A Football Championship, defeating Tracton after a replay in the South East Final played in Carrigaline.[citation needed]About near a decade later in 2021, they would eventually lose the County Final to Boherbue played in Páirc Uí Choaimh.
