History

Located in the town of Roscrea, on the Tipperary-Offaly border, Roscrea GAA Club was founded in 1895. The club spent most of its early existence operating in the junior grade in the various North Tipperary competitions. Roscrea had their breakthrough success in 1936 when the club claimed their first North Tipperary SHC title.
Roscrea's breakthrough at county level came when the club won three successive Tipperary SHC titles between 1968 and 1970. The club also claimed back-to-back Munster Club SHC titles at this time. On 19 December 1971, Roscrea beat St Ryangh's by 4-05 to 2-05 to become the inaugural winners of the All-Ireland Club SHC title. The club won further Tipperary SHC titles in 1972, 1973 and 1980.
