Formerly, primarily a hurling club, Borris-in-Ossory now operates solely as a gaelic football club.

It amalgamates at all age levels with its neighbouring club, Kilcotton GAA, with which it competes in hurling as Borris-in-Ossory–Kilcotton GAA.[ citation needed ]

The clubs however field separate Gaelic football teams, and compete as separate clubs in the Laois Junior C Football Championship. [3]

The club won five Laois Senior Hurling Championships, the last of which came in 1972. The Laois and Leinster hurler Christy O'Brien played in all five wins and was captain for the first four wins between 1956 and 1961. [4]
