Collegeland is part of the Armagh GAA and participates in Naomh Eoin CLG, the joint underage team fielded along with Annaghmore and Clonmore clubs.

[2] A club of the same name existed in the early 1900s, playing in black and amber colours, and in the 1930s in green and gold.

It adopted royal blue as its colour due to the prominence of Cavan football at the time.

A driving force in the reformation of the club was Fr William McKnight after whom the current playing facility is named.

The club has reached the county Senior final only once, in 1961 when it defeated Clann Éireann by 4-11 to 4-07.
