Kinsalebeg was among the first clubs in the country, established in 1885, the year after the GAA was formed, and went on to contest the first football final, losing to Ballysaggart.

Then, in 1925 both halves of the parish combined to beat Rinn Ó gCuanach by 0-2 to 0-1 in what would be their last County Senior win.

However, they won promotion the year after with a victory over John Mitchels in the Waterford Intermediate Football Championship Final by a scoreline of 1-13 to 1-7.

Cillian O'Keeffe, Kieran Connery and Sean Fleming are current members of the Waterford Senior Football Squad.

Other recent players of note include Karl O'Keeffe and Jason Seward and Stephen Barron.
