Mogeely lies in East Cork, approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of Castlemartyr off the N25 national primary road.[3] Mogeely railway station was, until it closed in the 1970s, a stop on the Cork to Youghal railway line.[4][5] The nearest train station is now Midleton railway station.

Located within a largely rural area, Mogeely hosted the National Ploughing Championships in 2005.[6] Local employers include the Dairygold Co-Operative Society, which operates two cheese processing plants in the area.[7]
