Kilcullen town sports predate the GAA. The club was founded in 1889, and at first wore green and gold. They changed to black and white to honour the New Zealand national rugby union team ("All Blacks"), who played in Dublin in 1905. Their nickname, "The Rags", comes from a friendly game against Isles of the Sea where the Dubliners insulted the Kilcullen team's shabby kit.[1]
Kilcullen were beaten by Clane in the 1892 county final. They lost to Moorefield 0-2 to 2-11 in the 1962 final.
Ladies Gaelic football
Kilcullen Ladies won their first ever Championship at senior level on 3 September 2016. They defeated Celbridge in the final of the Junior B Championship with a final scoreline of 5-17 to 2-05.[citation needed]
The Ladies section of the club had a successful 2018 season, winning at Division 1 level in all age groups from U13, U14, U15, U16 and Minor.[citation needed] The U14s won the All Ireland B Feile. The Senior side also added to the club's second ever Ladies Senior championship by defeating Na Fianna in the Ladies Junior A final.[citation needed]
The Ladies now compete at Senior level, with several players lining out for Kildare at various levels. In 2023, two club players were part of the Kildare panel which won the All Ireland Intermediate Championship.[citation needed]
