History
Nemo Rangers Hurling & Football Club was founded in 1922 following the amalgamation of two Cork clubs – Nemo and Rangers. Within six years the new club made their mark by winning the county Intermediate Hurling and Football Championships in 1928, a feat that has never been equalled.
Since then Nemo have become notable as a football club, having won seven All-Ireland club football titles. Nemo have established close links with nearby secondary school,
Coláiste Chríost Rí.
