Craigard Park, Invergarry.
A club called Glengarry played against Fort Augustus in 1882 and was active in the 1930s. However in 1948 the club amalgamated with Fort Augustus and became Inveroich. The club was reconstituted as Glengaryy in 1976 and has continued to this day. The club have won the Balliemore Cup in 1985, 1988 and 1989 and also reached the final of the Valerie Fraser Cup in 1990 and 1991.
As the woman's game has risen in popularity, so Glengarry finally got their hands on the Valerie Fraser Trophy in its new role as the trophy for the winners of the Women's Camanachd Cup Final. Glengarry, who have had a women's team since 1997 have been the most dominant side in the women's game up until this point. The club have won every league they have competed in and lost the Camanachd Cup for the first time ever in 2006 to Glasgow Mid Argyll.
The men's team now competes in North Division Two, a decision taken to drop a division with the move to summer shinty which the club opposed.
