Naomh Conaill CLCG[2] is a GAA club for the Glenties parish in south-west County Donegal.

[4][5] The club is its reigning County Senior Football Champions, having beaten Gaoth Dobhair in the 2023 final.

The earliest record of Gaelic games in the area came from 1905, when a hurling match took place between Kilraine and Brackey (Ardara).

Columba later gained further recognition as the first Donegal man to win an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winners' medal, when he lined out for Cavan in the 1947 final, which was played at the Polo Grounds in New York City.

The club reached the MFC final in 1947, but lost to a St Eunan's team that was on its second leg of a three-in-a-row victory.

As the 1940s ended, the club reached a sixth county decider, this time at the junior grade, but was unsuccessful.

In 1964, the club won the Devine Cup, a competition hosted annually by Aghyaran St Davogs's GFC.

[12] Building on the successes at minor and junior grades, the club qualified for its fourth appearance in the SFC decider in 1965.

1972 saw the club contest the Democrat Cup Final (Division 1 League) for the first time, but St Joseph's won that title.

At this time the club's senior (first team) was playing in the Donegal Intermediate Football Championship (IFC), and, in 1986, secured a final appearance against An Clochán Liath in Ardara.

The mid-1980s saw the creation of 'B' Championships at under-12 and under-14 grades, and these new competitions gave the club new opportunities to develop its underage teams following a fallow period.

The following year, Naomh Conaill won the U-12B Championship, after a replay held at the old O'Donnell Park in Letterkenny.

Naomh Conaill won the 1990 IFC final against Bundoran, a first county championship victory for the club's senior team.

As well as being the year Donegal won the Sam Maguire Cup for the first time, 1992 also saw Naomh Conaill win an All-Ireland title in Scór na-nÓg; in the ballad group category.

Naomh Conaill had mixed fortunes in 1997, losing the U-14 A2 Championship to Downings, but winning the U-13 A2 at the expense of Gaeil Fhánada.

The club won its first Division 1 Shield title in 1995, and more significantly, success in the Senior Donegal Gaeltacht Championship was gained in the following year.

After the club's 2005 Donegal SFC title win, Brendan McDyer, Anthony Thompson and Leon Thompson were called up to the Donegal senior squad for the first time, while Paddy Campbell and Thomas Donoghue were also involved, at a time when Brian McIver was manager.

The following year saw the club win its first Minor League (A1) title, but a first appearance in the Senior Reserve Championship final ended in defeat to Gaoth Dobhair.

2004 saw the club retain the MFC, the first time a top grade football championship was held for more than one year (excluding combined teams).

The minor team lost out at the quarter-final stage of the Ulster Club Championship to Belcoo after extra time.

[15] Naomh Conaill won the 2010 Donegal Senior Football Championship, with Leo McLoone in inspired form.

The club contested the 2015 Donegal Senior Football Championship final against St Eunan's by a single point.

[23] Tyrone champions Trillick saw off Naomh Conaill in the first round of the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship.

The club's minor team won the 2016 MFC title against St Eunan's by a scoreline of 1–11 to 0–11 in Convoy.

In 2019, Naomh Conaill won a fourth SFC title, doing so after a three-game final against Gaoth Dobhair, with only a point separating the clubs at the end of the third game.

[29] In 2022, Naomh Conaill won a sixth SFC title, in controversial circumstances, and by one point, after St Eunan's player Shane O'Donnell was sent off for patting Jeaic Mac Ceallabhuí.

[31] They did so with players Marty Boyle, Brendan McDyer, Leo McLoone, Anthony Thompson and Eoin Waide all still there from the 2005 team that won the club's first SFC title.
