CLG Ghaoth Dobhair[1][2] is a GAA club based in the parish of Gaoth Dobhair (anglicised to Gweedore) in northwest County Donegal, Republic of Ireland. They are one of the strongholds of Gaelic football in County Donegal.[3]
Their home ground is at Machaire Gathlán, and (as of January 2024) they share the record for most wins in both the Donegal Senior Football Championship and the Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta.

But the Gaoth Dobhair club man, who was only persuaded to come back into the panel by McGuinness at the start of last season before going on to win an All-Star as Donegal reached the All-Ireland semi-finals, feels no confidences were broken in the book.

'In terms of this generation are we going to lose out on players in the GAA?' said the Gaoth Dobhair club-man… The Gweedore man says his love for the GAA was fostered by trips to places like Clones and MacCumhaill Park for matches when he was a child and he is concerned potential GAA recruits of the future are now missing out on this experience.

The strongholds of Gaelic football in the county — particularly since the turn of this century — such as Gweedores Gaoth Dobhair, Letterkennys St Eunans, Ardara, Four Masters from Donegal Town and Naomh Conaill from Glenties have all been well represented on the pitch this summer.
