History

The club was founded in 1961. Erne Gaels won their first Fermanagh Senior Football Championship title in 1979, and followed this up by winning it again in 1981.[1]

The Belleek club's first appearance in a senior final since 1981 came in 2016, losing to Derrygonnelly Harps by a single point.[2] Their most recent championship success was in the Intermediate grade, beating Devenish in the 2021 final.[3] In their first year back up at senior, Erne Gaels reached the county final, but suffered a heavy defeat to Enniskillen Gaels.[4] They reached the final again in 2023, but lost once again to Derrygonnelly.[5]
