History

The club was founded in 1905, in the town of Monaghan, County Monaghan. It competes at club level in the county championships and leagues.
Seán Kelly, the then GAA's president, opened a two-pitch complex and clubhouse on 27 August 2005, after 14 years of work, with Rory O'Hanlon, the then Ceann Comhairle of Dáil Éireann, also in attendance.
The Gavan Duffy Park club grounds received permission for upgrades, including floodlights, in 2023.
In the years leading up to 2025, the club's demographics expanded/changed to become more diverse, and had more children staying with the club beyond 12 years. The club received "Green Club" status in 2025, becoming the first in County Monaghan to achieve this award. "Green club" status reflects a club's commitment towards sustainability.
