It is based in the parish of Upper Creggan, including the village of Silverbridge and surrounding townlands.

The first GAA club in the parish, the Carnally William Orr's, was established in 1887, as one of the earliest in Armagh.

A revived team, Silverbridge, played for one season in 1906, but although football continued in the locality, it was not until about 1920 that the club reformed.

[2] A new Silverbridge Harps club was organised in September 1935, and in 1937 reached the county Junior Championship Final.

In 1945, a Silverbridge selection including players from two other Junior clubs, Whitecross and Mullaghbawn,[2] reached the Senior Championship Final only to lose to St Malachy's of Armagh city.
