Drumquin Wolfe Tones (Irish: Droim Caoin Uilf Tón) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club. The club is based in Drumquin, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.

The club concentrates on Gaelic football. In youth competitions, the club formerly combined with Dregish to form Michael Cusacks at all levels between Under 12 and Minor. Drumquin now fields its own team for all age groups from U-6s to seniors. There was a Ladies Gaelic football club in Drumquin who carried the same Wolfe Tones name and played at the same home venue, the LGFA team has now been disbanded.

The senior team in 2014 will compete in Division 3 of the Tyrone All-County Football League and will play in the Tyrone Junior Football Championship.

Facilities

In 1977 the club purchased an 11-acre (4.45-hectare) site from Omagh District Council for £11,750 and developed it into what now known as Jim McGirr Park. The current spectator stand was built in the early 1990s. The next development was in 1999, when in September the new clubrooms were opened by County Chairman at the time, Cuthbert Donnelly. The cost for the new building was approximately £220,000. A second pitch was also leased to the club from Omagh District Council for 99 years. The main playing field was the next phase of development, which saw a sand carpet pitch being laid and grass seeds sown in October 2005. This also saw a 1.2m (4ft)-high perimeter fence erected; and goal posts, ballstops and a turnstile being built.
