Ballylanders is situated 45 km from Limerick City in the southeast of the county at the foot of the Galtee Mountains.

The cup stayed in the parish for six years as the County Board did not run the championship during the First World War.

While the club did not have much success in the 1980s, in 1991 they joined with Galtee Gaels and Garryspillane under the Glenacurrane name and they won the County Senior Championship.

[citation needed] Through the years Ballylanders GAA club rented various fields around the parish for training and matches.

The club finally purchased a site on the Kilfinane road in 1981 and throughout the 1980s and 1990s the field and dressing rooms were developed.

However, the club has since outgrown these facilities and has built a brand new clubhouse containing four dressing rooms and a multi purpose hall.
