Colmcille GFC is named for Saint Colmcille (or Saint Columba) (AD 521–597) who founded Inchmore monastery on an island nearby on Lough Gowna.[3] The club won the very first Longford Senior Football Championship in 1890 as Columbkille St. Columbkilles.[4] They have won six more county senior titles since then, the latest in 2022.[5][6]
Colmcille was one of Longford's first five Ladies Gaelic football teams, first playing in 1980.[7][8][9]
