Oranmore-Maree GAA or Maree-Oranmore GAA as it is more commonly known, is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in the village of Oranmore and surrounding area of Maree, County Galway, Ireland. The club was founded in 1967 and fields teams in both Gaelic football and hurling. The club was formed through a county by-law which ruled that there should be only one team per parish, previous to this Maree and Oranmore had teams. Maree wore green and black jerseys while Oranmore wore Black and Amber. Maree won the Galway Senior Hurling Championship in 1933 beating Castlegar 5-06 to 6-02. Oranmore won the Galway Intermediate Hurling Championship in 1950 beating Killimor 3-5 to 3-1 after a replay, Maree continued there clubs fine tradition by winning the Intermediate title in 1953 beating the highly fancied Craughwell 6-1 to 4-1.

The GAA club has provided many hurlers to the Galway Senior Hurling Team, these include Pat Malone, who won 2 All-Ireland medals in 1987 and 1988 respectively, Richard Burke, William Burke, Aidan Divney, Michael Hanniffy and current members of the panel Gearoid McInerney and Niall Burke.

The GAA Club has also a long tradition of winning under-age titles in both Hurling and Football and completed a unique double in 2014 when the Under 16 and Under 21 footballers and hurlers won their respective championships, this was followed by Minor 'B' hurling and football championship victories in 2015.
