- St Eunans GAA (/ˈjuːnən/ YOO-nən; or Naomh Adhamhnáin) is a dual club which plays hurling and Gaelic football. Their home ground is O'Donnell Park in Letterkenny. They field 35 teams, making them the biggest club in their county. One of the strongholds of Gaelic football in County Donegal, they have won the joint most Donegal Senior Football Championship along with Gaoth Dobhair who have also won 15. Considered Donegal's most prolific club, they are renowned for their conveyor belt-like consistency in producing players of senior inter-county quality, including numerous All-Ireland winners. Also renowned for their success at minor level, they have won 19 minor football championships, with 3 minor championship wins and four final appearances in the four years from 2015 to 2018 they have toured abroad, particularly the United States in 1969 and 1998, and Glasgow in 1977. In 1980 they received an All-Ireland Club of the Year Award at a ceremony in Ballsbridge, Dublin. They have a long-running boundary dispute with neighbouring club Letterkenny Gaels, a side competing in the junior championship, who were founded in 1996. An agreement was signed between the two clubs that there would be no boundaries within the Town, however this has not stopped Letterkenny Gaels in the pursuit to divide the town along parish lines . Ahead of the 2020 season, John Haran, winner of 8 Donegal Senior Football Championships with the club, was named as the club's chairman after five years as the club's vice-chairman. Conall Dunne also took over as treasurer. In November 2020, Rory Kavanagh was appointed manager of the club's senior team and he won the Co Senior Championship in his first year in charge in 2021.
