A hurling team representing Douglas participated in the first Cork Senior Hurling Championship in 1887.[2][3][1] A number of Douglas-based clubs, including Castletreasure and St Columbas, existed through the early 20th century,[3] before the latter was renamed 'Douglas Hurling and Football Club' in 1938.[3][4] The club's first championship win was in the Cork Junior Football Championship of 1962.[3][4][5]
