[5] 1900 star James 'the Bull' Roche, who had fought for the World heavyweight boxing championship, trained that team, which featured Fr Ned Wheeler, Aidan Doyle and the O'Kennedy brothers, Gus and Seán, as players.

The feat of six consecutive Leinster SFC titles was only equalled in 1931, when Kildare won the sixth in a sequence that had begun in 1926.

[7][8] Wexford reached the 2005 National Football League final under the management of Pat Roe, but lost to Armagh.

That game was notable for a request for payment attributed to Roe appearing in the minutes of a Wexford County Board meeting; Roe, it was alleged in the minutes, had asked in advance of that game for a €5,000 bonus if Wexford defeated Armagh, whilst €3,000 would suffice in the event of a loss.

A poor performance from Dublin's star player, Bernard Brogan, assisted Wexford's efforts to stay close to Dublin's score throughout the match; however, a bizarre own goal contributed to a loss — by a scoreline of 2–12 to 1–12 — to the team that would later win that year's All-Ireland SFC title.

Paul Galvin briefly managed Wexford during 2019 and 2020 before moving away mid-season while play was halted amid the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games; his selector Shane Roche was appointed on an interim basis.

[14] Galvin's tenure involved most (but not all) of the 2020 National Football League campaign; he never actually managed Wexford in a championship game.

* Shane Roche was originally a selector but was appointed interim manager after Paul Galvin left suddenly in September 2020.

Until 1996, the team used the town of Wexford's traditional crest (three burning wooden ships), then they adopted the county's new coat of arms.
