History

The club was founded in 1887 and is named after the Cooley Peninsula on which it stands. It bears the Brown Bull of Cooley on the club crest and is also named after the nationalist and writer Charles Kickham (1828–1882).[2]

The club grounds, named Fr. McEvoy Park, are near to Haggardstown, Greenore and Carlingford. They were opened in 1969 by GAA President Séamus Ó Riain.[3]

In 1973 and 1976 they reached the final of the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship.[4]

The ladies' team reached the final of the 2001 Leinster Ladies' Senior Club Football Championship.[5]
