Gaelic football

Clann Éireann won the Armagh Junior Football Championship in 1945.[1]

In the 1954 Armagh Senior Football Championship final, Clann Éireann secured its first Senior title by defeating the neighbouring club, Clan na Gael, by 2–04 to a single point. The dismal performance of Clan na Gael was despite its hosting the match. After a frustrating sequence of SFC final losses in 1959-62 (including the replay of the drawn 1960 decider), Clann Éireann again won the Senior title in 1963, defeating Crossmaglen 3–06 to 1-04.[2]

The club won the Armagh Intermediate Football Championship in 1977, defeating Culloville 1–13 to 1-05. The IFC title returned to the club in 2002, when they beat Carrickcruppen by 1–11 to 0-09.[3] In 2015 the IFC title was again Clann Éireann's as they defeated Whitecross 2–13 to 2–8.[4]

In 2021 the club won the Armagh Senior Football Championship for the third time defeating Crossmaglen 2-12 to 0-16 at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh.[5]
