St Lachtain's GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in Freshford, County Kilkenny, Ireland. Founded in 1951, it is almost exclusively concerned with the game of hurling.

History

Located in the village of Freshford, St Lachtain's GAA Club was founded in 1951. The new club spent its early years operating in the junior ranks, eventually winning the Kilkenny JHC title in 1959 and securing senior status. Within two years in the top flight, St Lachtain's claimed their first ever Kilkenny SHC title after beating representative side Near South. A second SHC followed in 1963 after a defeat of Tullogher.

St Lachtain's subsequently slipped out of the top flight and down the ranks but continued to collect silverware. A second Kilkenny JHC title was won in 1993, while Kilkenny IHC titles were claimed in 1984 and 2009. The latter title was later converted into a Leinster Club IHC title, while the All-Ireland Club IHC title was won after a 3-17 to 0-10 defeat of St Gall's.
