History

The club first played their matches in Dublin city centre and, like a lot of clubs at the time, they trained in the Phoenix Park. [1]

The club was less than a decade in existence when Commercials claimed its first Dublin SHC in 1895. It was the first of a record five successive titles. In all, Commercials won nine titles in the first 30 years of their existence. [2] Successes in the lower grades was also achieved, with Dublin IHC and Dublin JHC titles being secured on a number of occasions.
