The Hurling Club of Madison is an American amateur sports club based in Madison, Wisconsin, playing and promoting the sport of hurling. Since 2015, the club has also sponsored a Gaelic football team, adding a women's Gaelic football team in 2016. The club is a member of the United States Gaelic Athletic Association, Heartland Division.
An amateur club, membership is open to players aged 16 and up, with a current age range of members from 16 to 50+. Founded in 2007[1] by a group led by Jason Kenney, Bill Jones, Chris Lane, Tom Isenbarger and Ben Bares, the club earned its first national hurling championship in 2015, winning the 14-team Junior C hurling tournament at the USGAA Finals in Chicago.[2] By winning the Championship, Madison made the State of the Wisconsin the only state to have two clubs that have won the Jr. C National Championship (Milwaukee Hurling Club won in 2013).
In 2019 the club entered both a Jr. A level hurling panel and a Jr. D level hurling panel in the USGAA National Championship in Leesburg, VA. The Jr. A panel had a thrilling come-from-behind victory to win the final and the Jr. D panel, made up of nearly all American-born players, outdid all expectations and also became National Champions. It is believed to be the first time that a single hurling club has won two divisions of the North American National Tournament in the same year, repeated again by the club in 2022.
In 2021, the club captured its first Gaelic football championship at the USGAA Finals in Boston.
in 2022, the club repeated its 2019 feat of dual championships by defeating Heartland Division rival Twin Cities Robert Emmets Hurling Club and San Diego St. Peters of the Western Division, respectively, to capture the USGAA Jr. A and Jr. Reserve hurling championships in Chicago. The club returned to Chicago in 2023 to successfully defend its Jr. Reserve championship trophy by narrowly defeating the St. Louis Gaelic Athletic Club.
