Tournafulla, officially Toornafulla〔(Placenames Database of Ireland )〕 (), is a village in the southwest of County Limerick, Ireland. Tournafulla is a long single-street village. It has a Catholic church, primary school, three pubs, a community hall and a GAA pitch. Locally, a claim is made that Tournafulla is the longest village in Ireland and the third longest linear village in Europe, although there is no official record of such.
==Geography==
Tournafulla is located 11 km from Abbeyfeale, 13 km from Newcastle West and 56 km from Limerick City. It is one half pf the parish of Tournafulla/Mountcollins which was formed in 1838. Surrounding parishes include Killeedy to the east, Monagea to the northeast, Templeglantine to the north, Abbeyfeale to the west, Meelin/Rockchapel, County Cork to the south and Brosna, County Kerry to the southwest. It is surrounded by hills to the north and the Mullaghareirk Mountains to the south. Woods covered most of Tournafulla until the 17th century and Irish was still the main language up until the 1910s.
The three counties of Limerick, Cork and Kerry converge at a point in the parish of Tournafulla/Mountcollins. A plaque has been placed at the River Feale to mark this point. Within a few miles of the parish are the villages of Rockchapel, County Cork, and Brosna, which is the converging point of the three counties.
