No the geographical and political name for the county they are located in is called County Londonderry. They may choose to call it County Derry in their own usage ans in GAA names, but the county is still called County Londonderry.

It comes in when it's appropriate, and it's not appropriate for discussion in every article where the county name is brough up.

I really think a bit of common sense would go a long way here, and Derry is more than adequate. (

The article states where the club are, not the preference of the GAA County Board. As per the discussion on Wikipedia (see
WP:IMOS), the county is referred to as Londonderry and the city of Derry, as a working compromise. This benefits non-locals unfamiliar with the naming issue.

Category duplication
At the time of writing this page has Category links with identical content. A proposal to delete categories relating to the GAA that use "
Londonderry" (the name of the former
administrative county) rather than "
Derry" (the name of the
GAA county) is under discussion. If you wish to contribute, follow the link from the "Londonderry" category.
