Although approximately one mile from the border with Kerry, Knocknagree is officially in the parish of Rathmore with the majority of this parish in Kerry putting Knocknagree in front line when it comes to Cork-Kerry rivalry.

[citation needed] In 2007 it hosted the first Duhallow Junior A Football Championship final to be played under lights.

The club crest was designed in 2002 and features a horse's head in the centre, a traditional Irish fiddle (left upper corner), and an open book (right upper corner).

A Blackwater bridge (with a leaping salmon) in the lower foreground symbolises the club's border location.

[citation needed] On 19 September 2015 Knocknagree bridged a 24 year gap to win their eleventh Duhallow Junior A Football Championship, beating Lyre GAA in a replay by a scoreline of 1-12 to 0-04.
