GAA County Nicknames:
Kilkenny: “The Cats”
The Kilkenny Cats are all-time record-holders for the most All-Ireland Hurling titles, having lifted the Liam McCarthy Cup on a whopping 36 occasions!
The origin of this nickname is not entirely clear, but it’s believed to have originated from a famous Irish limerick about two Kilkenny cats that fought to the death by eating each other up until only their tails were left behind. An apt nickname for the tenacious, fierce Kilkenny hurling team!
Other notable Kilkenny GAA team nicknames include:
- The Stripey Men
- The Noresiders
- The Marble City
