While Mayo may not be regarded by too many people as a hurling stronghold, our hurlers have performed very well over the years with limited resources. In recent years Mayo have been extremely competitive at Christy Ring Cup level and while we haven’t won the grade two competition, progress has definitely been made.
In 2016 Mayo won the Nicky Rackard title in Croke Park when they beat Armagh.
In 2021 Mayo won the Nicky Rackard title in Croke Park when they beat Donegal.
