Ard Bó Uí Dhonnabhain Rossa Cuman Lúthchleas Gael (Ardboe O'Donovan Rossa in English) are a club based in east County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, close to the shores of Lough Neagh. It and Moortown St. Malachy's both draw players from the same parish, Ardboe. The club was formed in 1947 but Gaelic Games had existed under different banners from the early 20th century.

The club has won a total of 7 Tyrone Senior championships, the last in 1998 when they defeated Omagh.

Some of the most notable past players include Frank McGuigan. Current Tyrone senior panellists include McGuigan's sons Brian and Tommy. Kyle Coney was a member of the 2008 Tyrone team that won the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship.

Michael Coney Park

Michael Coney Park is the home ground of Ardboe O'Donovan Rossa GAC, situated on the Kilmascally road near to the main parish centre.

It was in the 70's where tireless workers for the club saw the construction of the main pavilion building and the surrounding facilities. In the years following new fencing was erected and it become one of the premier grounds in the county.

Again club volunteers gave tireless hours to erect a new covered stand and terracing to further improve the club’s grounds.

In recent years a new development saw the club purchase a new training field to the top of the current playing field. Both pitches became Prunty pitches and the installation of new floodlights that are said to be one of the best in the county with numerous county teams training under them during the winter months.
