[citation needed] Records show that football and hurling had been played previously (possibly under the team name of a Thomas Davis) but these games were quite rough and unorganised.

Despite hurling having an almost non-existent profile, Glin won an U16 county title, defeating South Liberties in the final.

[citation needed] The following year, the team won the Junior A West Limerick Championship but were knocked out the county semi-final stage.

[citation needed] They contested the 2008 West Limerick final against Mountcollins, with the sides finishing level at 1-12 apiece aet.

[citation needed] In 2012, Glin's championship challenge came to a conclusion when they went down by two points in the county semi-final to Cappamore, the eventual winners.

[citation needed] During the late 1920s and early 1930s, Glin supplied several intercounty footballers; the most well known were Thomas Culhane, Johnny Kelly and Seamus Duggan.

[citation needed] Liam Long also played for Limerick in the late 1980s and 1990s, appearing in the 1991 Munster final against Kerry, losing narrowly by 0-23 to 3-12.

The last Glin footballer to represent Limerick at senior level was Noelie Mulvihill in a 1999 Munster Championship 1st-round game against Cork.
