[1][2] The Strokestown club was founded on 13 October 1881, three years before the Gaelic Athletic Association itself.

In 1889 the local landlord, a J. Walpole, was expelled, and the club refounded as Strokestown Brian Boru's.

They won it for a tenth time in 2002, advancing that year to the final of the Connacht Senior Club Football Championship where they were beaten by Crossmolina Deel Rovers.

[5] The club crest was adopted in 2002 and depicts the "Bawn Gates" of Strokestown Park.
