An informal meeting took place on 15 January 1888 in the village of Easkey to initiate a parish branch of the newly founded GAA. This was followed by a second meeting, two weeks later, that formally constituted the club, with thirty men enrolling as members. Immediately after this formation meeting, the group played a football match to mark the occasion. The newly formed club was one of the first to participate in the inaugural Sligo Senior Football Championship in 1888.
