One of the strongholds of Gaelic football in County Donegal,[6] the club has won the joint most Donegal Senior Football Championship titles (along with Gaoth Dobhair, which has also won 15). Considered Donegal's most prolific club,[7] it is renowned for its conveyor belt-like consistency in producing players of senior inter-county quality, including numerous All-Ireland winners.[8] Also renowned for its success at minor level, the club has won 19 minor football championships, with 3 minor championship wins and four final appearances in the four years from 2015 to 2018 [9] they have toured abroad, particularly the United States in 1969 and 1998, and Glasgow in 1977.[10] In 1980, it received an All-Ireland Club of the Year Award, at a ceremony in Ballsbridge, Dublin.[11]
It has a long-running boundary dispute with neighbouring club Letterkenny Gaels, which was founded in 1996 and has competed only in the Donegal Junior Football Championship. An agreement was signed between the two clubs that there would be no boundaries within the Town; however, this has not stopped Letterkenny Gaels in its pursuit of dividing the town along parish lines.[12][13]
