Kilrossanty GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club located in Lemybrien, County Waterford, Ireland. The club is named for the nearby village of Kilrossanty. It plays home games at Pairc Naomh Brid. Kilrossanty is one of the oldest GAA clubs in Waterford and one of the larger Gaelic Football clubs there.
The club also plays underage hurling and has fielded a number of adult hurling teams on many occasions. They won the Junior B Hurling title in 1990 and 2016. In the latter, they defeated Mount Sion 1-20 to 07
In the early days of the GAA, Kerry GAA wore red and green as their colours. In 1903, they travelled east to play a tournament in Dungarvan and accidentally left the green and red jerseys at home. Percy Kirwan borrowed the green and gold kit off local club Kilrossanty and following a strong performance, they decided to adopt the colours.
