The club was founded in 1886,[1] and is therefore one of the oldest in the county.[citation needed] Conahy won the 2008 All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship in Croke Park, defeating Moyle Rovers of Tipperary. Conahy club member, and then president of the GAA, Nickey Brennan presented the cup to his home club.[2] The club won the All-Ireland Junior title again in 2020.[3]
