History
The club was founded in July 1899.[citation needed] Since its foundation, Tarbert had a rivalry with Ballylongford GAA, extending into the twentieth century.[citation needed] The history of the club, including its record in under age competitions, is recorded in a book titled Tarbert G.A.A. A Century of the Red and Black which was compiled by Tarbert Bord Na nÓg.[citation needed] The club won the 2010 North Kerry Senior Football Championship in a replay against Listowel Emmets.[2] In 2025, after losing back-to-back finals in 2023 and 2024, the club finally secured a further Kerry Junior Football Championship with a 1 point victory over Beale.[3]
