History

Players from the club twice joined up with local rivals Éire Óg, Ennis to form the Ennis Faughs football team. Both clubs were competing at lower levels at the time so it was seen as an opportunity to play senior football. Between 1944-1956 and 1994–1995, the Ennis Faughs competed in thirteen county football finals, winning five Senior Football titles in 1947, 1948, 1952, 1954 and 1994. They also won an Intermediate Hurling title in 1945, and an Intermediate Football title in 1946.

The club's most recent successes were both in 2022, when they won the Clare Intermediate Hurling Championship, and their second team won the Clare Junior A Hurling Championship.
