Mullahoran GFC, founded in 1888, is one of the most iconic clubs in Cavan. Situated in the vast, largely rural parish of Mullahoran in the south of the county, on the border with Co. Longford, the club is based at Our Lady of Lourdes Park, just off the N55 road between Granard and Cavan town.

Mullahoran have won 12 Cavan Senior Football Championship titles, most recently in 2012. They won their first title in 1935 and have won titles in six decades, with their most successful spell coming when they won seven titles from 1942-1950.

The club is perhaps the most embracing of all in Cavan when it comes to facilitating the various strands of the GAA - Mullahoran has traditionally been one of the only hurling clubs in the famously barren hurling landscape of Cavan, while it also caters for Ladies football, camogie, rounders, Scór, and of course, handball.

Identified as the club of 'The Gunner' Bradys, probably the most well-known representatives of that famous GAA family are Paul Brady, the four-time World Handball champion, and his late uncle Phil, who won All-Ireland senior football medals with Cavan in 1947, 1948 and 1952.

Another famous member of the Mullahoran club was former Tánaiste John Wilson, the late Fianna Fáil politician who served in various ministerial roles in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Wilson was on the Cavan team alongside Phil Brady that won the All-Ireland title in the Polo Grounds in New York in 1947.

Another famous Mullahoran footballer of more recent times is Damien O'Reilly, who was on the last Cavan team to win the Ulster title, in 1997.
