Roche Emmets GFC is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club that was founded in 1947. It fields gaelic football teams in competitions organised by Louth GAA. Located in Rathduff outside the town of Dundalk, a short distance from the historic Roche Castle, the club draws its support from the neighbouring parishes of Kilcurry and Faughart in north Louth.
As of 2024, Roche Emmets compete in the Louth Senior Championship and Division 1 of the county football Leagues.
Centre half-back Jim McArdle was a member of the victorious Louth1957 All-Ireland Championship squad. He suffered an injury in the semi-final win over Tyrone which meant he was unable to play in the decider. He received a winner's medal after Louth beat Cork 1–09 to 1–07 in the All-Ireland Final.[25]
