[edit] 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. Their most recent success was winning the Camanachd Cup Final in 2004.
