History

St. Kieran's was formed in 1972 as a result of an amalgamation between the Ardagh, Carrigkerry, Coolcappagh and Kilcolman clubs into a single unit. [4] The club instantly became a force in terms of Gaelic football and contested five Limerick SFC finals between 1972 and 1978, however, they failed to claim the title. [5] St Kieran's won their first SFC title in 1981, before adding further honours in 1985 and 1990. [6] The club has also enjoyed hurling success, winning Limerick JHC titles in 2012 and 2022. [7]
