Gaelic games were introduced to the parish of Kilbarrack-Foxfield through the Scoil Lorcáin school, which had success in Cumann na mBunscol competitions in 1972, 1973, and 1974.

At a meeting attended by 8 people in Scoil Lorcain on 5 September 1974, Naomh Barróg GAA club was formed.

The club ground, Pairc Barróg, was acquired in 1982, developed, and officially opened in September 1984.

During its history, Naomh Barróg has expanded to include membership from the neighboring areas of Bayside, Baldoyle, Sutton Park, Donaghmede and Grange-Woodbine.

With full and social membership now totaling over 1000, Naomh Barróg's new clubhouse was opened on 14 July 2001.
