The GAA clubs west of the Corrib
Football came to Oughterard in 1908 with a Tipperary man named Mahony, and the club that grew from it took the name of Seamus O'Maille, a member of the 1919 junior champions who was executed in 1923. It won the county championship in 1938, the only time, until Carraroe became the first Gaeltacht club to do it in 1996. In January 2020 Oughterard's intermediates won an All-Ireland at Croke Park.

Oughterard
The first success was the 1919 junior championship under John Joe D'Arcy of Maghera; the senior title of 1938 came against Ballinasloe with All-Ireland medallists Frank Burke and Henry Kenny on the team. In 2011 the intermediates went to the final of RTÉ's Celebrity Bainisteoir, beating St Patrick's of Donabate and Lissan before losing 0-18 to 0-15 in extra time to Killeshin. The grounds at Corribdale on the Pier Road have two pitches, a walled pitch, a training pitch and a 600-seat covered stand beside the Corribdale trails; the crest by John Thomas Gibbons, with the Owenriff bridge, the church, O'Maille and a salmon, won the national Féile award in 2004. The senior team plays in Division 1 of the county league as of 2025, and a ladies' club was founded in 2019.
Carraroe, Moycullen and Annaghdown
CLG An Cheathrú Rua, home of Seán Óg de Paor and Seán Ó Domhnaill of Galway's 1998 and 2001 All-Ireland teams, beat Oranmore-Maree in the 1996 county final; relegated in 2022 and again in 2023 after 35 years senior, it swept the county and Connacht junior titles in 2024. Moycullen's football club won junior in 1964 and has been senior since apart from 2008, when it won the All-Ireland intermediate club title, taking its first county title at the fourth attempt in 2020 and another in 2022; the hurling and camogie clubs share the Baile Dóite grounds with two pitches, a covered stand for 200 and a handball complex. Annaghdown, founded 1887, plays football, hurling, camogie and ladies' football in maroon and white at Cregg, reached the All-Ireland intermediate ladies' final in 2024 having won it in 2016, and has a glass-backed handball alley from 1978.
