Background

History

Kilcoo GAC was founded in 1906, although there were records of GAA being played there since the 1880s; a proper club wasn't formed until then. The club's first competitive match took place on 13 January 1907 against local team Liatroim (who were the first club formed in the county). The match ended with Kilcoo 0–0 Leitrim 0–5. Kilcoo won a first Senior County Championship in 1917, defeating Killyleagh in the final. The club won the 1922 championship, then followed the glorious "four in a row" 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, and further titles in 1932, 1933 and 1937.
