Games were organised between Rockchapel, Meelin, Brosna and Mountcollins as there was no structure or board in place at that time.

21 years after the Duhallow Board was first formed, Rockchapel had its first victory when they defeated Kilbrin in the novice final in 1954 which was played in Banteer.

[citation needed] Rockchapel also won the Novice Football League of 1967 but the final was not played until May 1968 because of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease.

Ballydaly were defeated by 2–6 to 2–2 in the semi-final, to set up a meeting with Lyre in the final after drawing 6 points each on the first occasion both teams returned to Banteer and Rockchapel won by 1–5 to 1–2.

After victories over Boherbue, Newmarket and Kiskeam in the Championship, Rockchapel qualified for the final against Kanturk which was played in Dromtariffe on 27 September.

[citation needed] In 1996, Rockchapel won the Examiner Cup and the club's next big success was the Duhallow Junior football championship in 2001 defeating Boherbue in the final.

The same year Rockchapel were knocked out of the County Championship at the quarter-final stage by Imokilly Champions Cloyne.

[5] Rockchapel won the Cork Junior Football Championship in 2012, defeating Kilmurry GAA after a replay in the County Final at Páirc Uí Rinn.

[citation needed] 2013 saw Rockchapel back competing at the Intermediate grade after winning the Junior County in 2012.

A first round loss to Fermoy was followed up by Victories over Glanmire, Cloyne and Éire Óg to set up a semi-final meeting with Grenagh.

[citation needed] 2014 saw the club reach the Intermediate County final losing out to Éire Og.

However, in 2015, the team exited the championship after a second-round defeat at the hands of Mayfield after a victory over Youghal in the first round.
