History

The club was founded in 1965 when Junior and Underage sections were formed by two local schoolteachers.[2] A Senior team was formed in 1983.[citation needed]

Between 1987 and 1992, the club reached five Roscommon Senior Hurling Championship finals and had three victories.[citation needed] Over the following decade, the club reached the county final several times - winning one in 1998. In 2004, the club won its fifth county final.[citation needed]

In 2016, Oran won its sixth county title. The final, played on 29 October 2016, was against Four Roads. In the last minute of stoppage time, Oran trailed by a point. Oran had just earned a free on their own 21 yard line. Against a 50 km wind, Jerry Fallon scored a point. The game was drawn and extra time ensued. Right from the off, Oran scored 2 goals and 3 points against Four Roads. Oran led by 9 points and had made a 10-point turn around since Four Roads last score. The 8 in a row champions were denied their ninth trophy by the Oran side.[3][4]

The club again reached the final during the 2025 Roscommon Senior Hurling Championship, but were defeated by Four Roads on a scoreline of 2-18 to 0-15.[5]
