Ballyskenagh/Killavilla GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located near Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland but affiliated to the Offaly County Board. The club is primarily concerned with the game of hurling, but also fields teams in Gaelic football.

History

Associated with the parish of Roscrea, County Tipperary but geographically situated in County Offaly, the club was formed in March 2013 following an amalgamation between the existing Ballyskenagh and Killavilla clubs.[1][2] The club has spent its existence competing in the IHC and Offaly JAHC. The club fielded a Gaelic football team for the first time in 2023, while also amalgamating with Shinrone at underage level to win the Offaly MAHC title that year.[3][4]
