Dunedin Connollys was founded in 1988 on Leith Walk, in the north of Edinburgh, at an Irish dancing show.

The club trained on the Meadows, and played home matches at St Augustine's High School, Edinburgh on the western outskirts of the city.

Dunedin Connollys currently has members from counties Mayo, Kerry, Carlow, Kildare, Tyrone, Leitrim, Sligo, Laois, Donegal, Tipperary, Londonderry, Armagh, and Roscommon.

After losses to St Peter's Manchester GAA in 2004 and Harlsden Harps in 2005, Dunedin Connollys won their maiden British Championship in 2009, beating holders John Mitchel's of Liverpool by a score of 1–08 to 2-04.

[6] In December 2017, Connollys hosted first time Ulster champions Naomh Colmcille, with the Donegal side winning 1–10 to 2–06 in Edinburgh.

The second-string side made it to the 2016 Scottish Junior Championship final, where they were defeated by Glasgow Gaels.

Founded in 2012, the establishment of Dunedin Og marked the end of two years of hard work and coaching by local Gaelic football enthusiasts in Edinburgh's primary schools.
