The Craigavon Cowboys were founded in 1985 and are one of the longest running American football clubs in Ireland. Our senior team has won 6 All-Ireland championships including 3 Shamrock Bowls (1986, 1990 & 1992), the DV8 Championship (2009) and 2 Harp Bowls (2019 & 2024).
Our flag football programme was reformed in 2015 to further the club’s ambitions and has been very successful, winning 3 Emerald Bowls (2016, 2018, & 2021) and the inaugural Glas Bowl (2019), whilst often travelling to various international tournaments such as the Champions Bowl and Flagging New Year.
Our Youth Academy is based on 3 core principles: fun, development and success. The club has worked hard to re-establish the programme, with previous success including youth players representing our Senior American Football team as well as earning international caps (Team Ireland). Our Youth Academy has been successful on two occasions, winning the All-Ireland Youth League in 2014 & 2015.
Our teams train in and around the Craigavon/Armagh area and play matches at People's Park, Portadown. The club is always open to new players, coaches, referees, committee members and volunteers so get in touch if you are interested in joining the 'Boys! American football is the fastest growing sport in Ireland - be part of it!
