The club is geographically located in the Carrigdhoun GAA division and was originally a member of it prior to transferring to Seandún following a dispute.

[citation needed] A game between Redmonds and Blackrock that attracted up to 15 thousand people, the largest crowd ever known to assemble for any event in Passage.

Such were the crowd in Passage that the local constabulary authorities in apprehension of a breach of the peace, made an order that all pubs and hotels in the town could not open for liquor between 10 am and 10 pm.

[citation needed] In 1887, the committee felt that the team was adequately prepared to enter the first ever Cork Senior Hurling Championship, playing Charleville in the first round.

In the next two rounds Passage defeated Inniscarra and Little Island, thus qualifying to meet Tower Street in the semi-final.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the draw, Cork Nationals of Blackrock and St. Finbarr's GAA (the Barr's) reached the semi-final; during their game many disputes arose, one been that Cork Nationals claimed a point given to the Barr's was not a point and therefore would not puck out the ball to restart the game.

The Barr's would not accept the decision and a long protracted series of meetings took place to try to solve the matter.
