Inveraray Shinty Club (Camanachd Inbhir Aora) is a shinty club from Inveraray, Argyll, Scotland. It plays in the Marine Harvest Premier Division. There is also a reserve team who plays in the South Division 2 as well as a Ladies team.

History

The club was formed after a public meeting in 1877. The club's first fixture was a 4-1 defeat by Vale of Leven in Govan.

The club played from its formation until 1935 when the club was banned from competition for 8 years. After the Second World War the club joined with Furnace Shinty Club to become Loch Fyne-side. In 1957, Inveraray was reformed but fell into abeyance in 1979. It was then restarted in 1982 and has continued to this day.

Despite this history of abeyance, Inveraray have been highly successful, winning the Camanachd Cup FInal for the fourth time in 2004. Their most recent success was winning the Glasgow Celtic Cup in 2007 and they lost 3-1 to Fort William in the centenary Camanachd Cup Final

Their ground was severely damaged in summer 2007 by the Connect Festival held on their pitch of Winterton Park. The Club plays here with the patronage of the Duke of Argyll.
