The club was founded in the 1950s and club colours are white with a red hoop.

Emo won their only Laois Senior Football Championship title in 1972 when Paddy Lawlor captained his team to victory over Graiguecullen.

Players from the other club in the parish Courtwood played on the minor and Under 21 winning teams and the two clubs also combined to win the Under 21 title again in 1989 and 1990 as Courtwood/Emo. They have also won this years(2008) minor championship. They marched their way to the final brushing aside their opposition with ease. Led by their brave and arguably their most valuable player capitan Brian Gorman. Although their inspireational full-back James Coman was severly injured in a previous match they still battled to victory in their matches.
