Located in the Blackpool area of Cork City's northside, St. Nicholas' Gaelic Football Club was founded in 1901.

After entering a special MFC, the equivalent of the Cork JFC today, St. Nicholas' won three successive titles between 1907 and 1909.

[3] Sister club Glen Rovers also won that year's Cork SHC, which saw a number of players, including Paddy O'Donovan, Danny Matt Dorgan, Jack Lynch, Connie Buckley, Dan Moylan, and Charlie Tobin, claim a remarkable double.

[4] The club brought its Cork SFC title tally to five following back-to-back final defeats of St. Finabrr's in 1965 and 1966.

Three consecutive relegations occurred over the following three years, with St. Nicholas' set to compete in the Cork Premier JFC in 2023.
