Feenagh Kilmeedy GAA club was founded in 1955. However, Gaelic games were known to be played in Feenagh and Kilmeedy for at least three quarters of a century prior to 1955.

The momentum for the formation of a Feenagh Kilmeedy club began in 1953, with the arrival of the late Rev. David Wall to the Parish. He wasn’t long in Feenagh when he was elected Chairman of the local club. In 1955 the club adopted the Blue and White colours, and played in fields in each Parish, John Irwin’s in Feenagh and Brendan McNamara’s in Kilmeedy.

1963 proved to be a glorious year for the young club. Promoted to the senior ranks, Feenagh Kilmeedy won the County Senior hurling championship at the first attempt, beating Emmets in the final by 3-06 to 3-01. Feenagh Kilmeedy played Senior hurling until 1967 without any further success.

County Junior hurling titles were also won in 1989, 2003 and 2013. County football titles were won at Junior B grade in 2003 and 2013, while in 2021 the Junior A County Football championship was won by Feenagh Kilmeedy.

The camogie club was first formed in the parish in 1977. After disbanding for a number of years, Feenagh

Kilmeedy Camogie team was re-established in 2022.

Many players have represented the club in County teams from 1930 to 2023, in both hurling and football and in different grades.

The club has also been to the forefront in Scór competitions since its formation in 1970. The club won the Munster Scór na nÓg Novelty act in 1994. It has won 3 Munster Scór Sinsear Novelty acts in a row 1994, 1995 and 1996. Further Munster successes in this competition followed in 2001, 2003, 2006, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2018 with All Ireland glory finally being achieved in 2018. The club has also had Munster success in Recitation.

The current pitch, Páirc Caoimhín Ó Luing was officially opened on April 20th, 1997.
