Its formation was initiated in the industrial boom time of the 1960s and the inaugural meeting was held in the Ardhú House Hotel on Tuesday 16 January 1968 when the attendance included Rev.Fr.J.Browne C.C and three officials of the Limerick County Board – Jackie O'Connell, chairman; Tom Boland, secretary and Mick O'Brien, treasurer.

[citation needed] Opening the meeting, Noel Drumgoole said that the attendance levels were heartening and an indication of the interest in the formation of the GAA club in the parish.

[citation needed] He paid tribute to Treaty Sarsfields for their work in promoting Gaelic games on the north side of the city, but stressed that in view of the considerable housing development in areas such as Greystones, Highfield, Mayorstone, Clareview and Caherdavin a new club, which initially would cater solely for underage players, was a necessity.

[citation needed] Many of Na Piarsaigh's younger players attend Scoil Chríost Rí Caherdavin or John F. Kennedy memorial school.

There is also a link to the local secondary school, Ardscoil Rís, with Na Piarsaigh players making contributions to the successful Dr. Harty Cup panels of 2010, 2011 and 2014.
