In 1928, two Gardaí, Tom MacCarville and Peter Fallon, who were stationed in Rush, and local G.A.A enthusiast Mick Jones called a meeting.

In 1936, the club embarked on a tour to Liverpool to play against a team of Irish farm workers, and St. Maurs won the game.

However, on 23 December 1951, they beat Skerries Harps in Parnell Park to give the club its first Dublin County Championship.

A prominent player was Séamus (Jim) McGuinnes, who progressed to the Dublin Senior Team where he became one of the finest footballers of that era.

Injury cut short his Inter-County career, but not before he won a National League medal and played in the semi-final against Kerry.

Liam (Willie) Price was elected chairman in 1950 and over the next forty-four years he led the club with great skill, style and dedication.

After the club won the 1951 Championship, Price set to obtain a pitch; nine acres on the west side of the Parmer Estate were purchased from the Land Commission in 1958.

[citation needed] The pitch and new dressing rooms were opened in 1961 with Dublin and Kildare playing in a Senior Football Challenge.

In 1986, the club qualified to play in Croke Park against a rejuvenated and star-studded Garda team which included Ashley Sullivan (Wicklow), Davy Byrne (Monaghan) and John McGrath (Tipperary).

During the club's first spell in Senior Football, the need for a clubhouse was realised and Áras Naomh Maur was opened in 1983.
