Truagh claimed the Monaghan Intermediate title in 2013 by beating Tyholland in the final.[3] They followed this up with wins over Drumgath and Foreglen to reach the Ulster final.[4][5] Truagh then beat Tyrone champions Eskra in the final on 1 December 2013 to claim the Ulster Intermediate Club Football Championship for the first time.[6] Truagh then got over Leinster champions Geraldines to reach the All-Ireland final.[7] On 9 February 2014, Truagh faced Kiltane at Croke Park for the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship. Truagh secured the All-Ireland title with an eight-point victory.[8]

Truagh reached the county final for the third time in 2021, but lost once again, this time to Scotstown.[9]
