St Rynagh's () is the name of two Gaelic Athletic Association sister clubs that encompass the towns of Cloghan and Banagher in County Offaly, in Ireland. The St Rynagh's Football Club is based in Cloghan and wears green and white hooped jerseys; the St Rynagh's Hurling Club is based in Banagher and wears blue and gold jerseys.
History Formed in 1961, to represent the parish of Cloghan and Banagher, the club gained almost immediate success - winning the senior hurling championship in 1965. The St Rynagh's Hurling Club went on to appear in three All-Ireland club hurling finals during the next 30 years.
St Rynagh's has also supplied three of Offaly's four All-Ireland Hurling Championship winning captains, namely Padraig Horan, Martin Hanamy and Hubert Rigney. Other noted players in the club's history include RTÉ pundit Michael Duignan, Pad Joe Whelahan, Aidan Fogarty and Declan Fogarty, David Hughes, Tom and Mícheál Conneely, and first ever all-star goalkeeper Damien Martin. In 2017, Padraig Horan was inducted into the GAA Hall of Fame.
In football, Greg Hughes and Dinny Wynne won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship with Offaly in 1971 and 1982, respectively.
The club enters teams for all major codes, and continues to have players which represent Offaly on both the hurling and football county teams.
St Rynagh's have won the Minor, Under 16, and Under 14 Offaly championships in 2007, while also reaching the Semi-Final at the 2007 Féile na nGael in Kilkenny. The Under 14 football squad captured the Division 3 title at Feile Peil na nÓg also.
