Camross Gaelic Athletic Association Club is a hurling and football club in County Laois, Republic of Ireland.

Founded in 1903, the club is the most successful hurling clubs in County Laois and club colours are black and amber.

The Camross club did not win the Laois Senior Hurling Championship until 1959 but since then they have added a record 22 more senior hurling titles to their roll of honour (23 titles in total). They last won the Laois Senior Hurling Championship in 2007 defeating Portlaoise.

A previous chairman Michael Lalor also held the chair of office of Laois County Council in 2006. Michael and his brothers were involved in the 1959 winning team.

Camross has also won the Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship twice, in 1976/77 and 1996/97. They were beaten in the 1977 club final by Glen Rovers at a game played in Thurles. They defeated Down side Ballycran in the semi final, Camross lost the 1997 All Ireland semi final to Athenry again at Semple Stadium in Thurles.

Camross club man Michael Delaney has held the full time position as secretary of the Leinster Council of the GAA for well over a quarter of a century, and is one of the top administrators in the sport.

Football is very much a secondary sport in the club, as only younger teams tend to play, but Camross did win the Laois Junior Football Championship in 1980 and the Laois Junior "B" Football Championship in 2005.

Many famous Camross players have represented Laois at senior hurling over the years including Tim and Frank Keenan, PJ Cuddy, Joe Dollard, Martin Cuddy and Zane Keenan.
