CLG An Cheathrú Rua is a Gaelic games club based in the Gaeltacht area of An Cheathrú Rua, County Galway, Ireland. It is a member of the Galway GAA branch of the Gaelic Athletic Association. Notable players to have played for the club include Seán Óg de Paor and Sean Ó Domhnaill, members of Galway's All-Ireland winning teams of 1998 and 2001.
In 1996, they became the first Gaeltacht, and second Connemara club to win the Galway Senior Football Championship beating Oranmore/Maree in the final. The only previous time the county championship was won by a Connemara side was in 1938 when it was won by Oughterard.
In 2022, the club lost the senior status that they had held since 1987, when they were crowned Galway Junior Football champions. Another demotion followed in 2023, with back-to-back relegations finding An Cheathrú Rua competing at the junior grade for the 2024 season.
A remarkable winning run followed in 2024, which saw them crowned Galway and Connacht Junior Club Football champions. An exciting semi-final victory over Offaly's Ballinagar in Hyde Park, Roscommon booked the Gaeltacht outfit an All-Ireland Club Football Final date at Croke Park.
