Tadhg MacCarthaigh GAA is Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Caheragh in Cork, Ireland. This is a Gaelic football only club, with no hurling played. The club in 2008 decided to start an under-12 hurling team, so the club may become a dual club in the future. The club is a member of the Carbery division of Cork GAA.
