History

The club is named after the Cooley Peninsula on which it stands and was founded in 1887. That year the club was granted the use of a field for matches by the Reverend Hugh Murphy P.P. The name "Cooley Kickhams" was chosen in 1905 and honours the nationalist and writer Charles Kickham. The Brown Bull of Cooley is featured on the club's crest.
The club grounds, named Fr. McEvoy Park, are near to Greenore and Carlingford. They were opened in 1969 by GAA President Séamus Ó Riain.
In 1973 and 1976 they reached the final of the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship.
