History

Founded in 1898, the club colours are green with a red hoop and white shorts. The club originally competed in the Laois championships but in 1903, for travel reasons, the club affiliated to Carlow GAA.

During its time in Carlow GAA the club was extremely successful winning no less than 13 Carlow Senior Football Championship titles before returning to compete in the Laois championships in 1927 following an infamous game in 1926 in the Carlow Senior Football Championship after which the Graiguecullen club was suspended.

The club grounds are called Fr. Maher Park.
