Bishopstown had its first success in 1971 when the club claimed the City JFC title. This was followed in 1974 with the Cork IFC title after a defeat of Newcestown in the Cork Intermediate Football Championship#Final|final].
Bishopstown made a hurling breakthrough in 1977 with the City JHC title. 15 years later the club beat Cloyne by a goal to win the Cork IHC and become a dual senior club. The club added a Cork Premier IHC title to their collection in 2006 after a 0-20 to 1-11 defeat of Carrigtwohill in the final.
