[12] In June 2022, Pat Fitzgerald announced his intention to resign from his role as Clare county secretary after 32 years.

[14] Cusack Park (Irish: Páirc Uí Chíosóg) is the primary home of the Clare hurling, football, camogie and Peil na mBan teams at all grades.

In 2006 there were media reports of substantial offers from property developers to buy the stadium and relocate it to a new 42,000 capacity site outside the town centre.

In 2015 a major renovation started, this included the demolition and re-erection of the main stand and construction of a new entrance/exit at the north side of the stadium.

On 17 June 2018, the stadium was completely sold out for the first time since re-opening for the visit of local hurling rivals Limerick.

After losing Munster SHC finals in 1993 and 1994, Len Gaynor was replaced as manager by Ger Loughnane, from Feakle.

It travelled to the edge of the square, where Ollie Baker doubled on the sliotar, scoring a goal, to send Clare through to the decider.

That game was held in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cork and Clare won a close match by a scoreline of 1–18 to 0–18.

In the replay Clare were leading in the closing stages by a scoreline of 2–10 to 1–16; however the referee accidentally blew the match up early.

Disarray engulfed Croke Park as disgruntled Offaly supporters began a sit-down protest on the pitch.

[17] At that time Clare had not won a championship match since 2008 and the team was also in the second tier of the National Hurling League.

In what was Tony Kelly's first senior game for the county, he scored 1–02 to help Clare win by a scoreline of 1–16 to 0–16.

In the 2013 season, Clare defeated Waterford in the Munster SHC quarter-final by a scoreline of 2–20 to 1–15, outscoring them by 2–12 to 0–06 in the second half.

An early Darach Honan goal helped Clare win by a scoreline of 1–22 to 0–18 and qualify for a first All-Ireland SHC final since 2002.

[19] The 2013 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final was held on 8 September and Clare led at half-time.

Moments later, in injury-time, Domhnall O'Donovan pointed to send the game to a replay, the full-time score being 3–16 to 0–25.

Clare then faced Galway in the 1917 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC) semi-final and won by a scoreline of 2–1 to 0–5.

However, in the 1917 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Clare narrowly lost to Wexford by a scoreline of 0–9 to 0–5.

During a game played in Milltown Malbay, Clare lost to Kerry by a scoreline of 1–9 to 9–21, a difference of 35 points.

[29] Clare football's greatest day since 1917 arrived in 1992 when, under the stewardship of Mayo native John Maughan, the county won its second Munster SFC by defeating Kerry in the final at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick by a scoreline of 2–10 to 0–12.

This victory was aided in no small part by two second half goals from Colm Clancy and Martin Daly.

Clare's luck would run out however and in the 1992 All-Ireland SFC semi-final, the team lost to Dublin by a scoreline of 3–14 to 2–12.
