History

Originally there were three clubs in Swinford area, “The Commercials”, “The Sextons” and then also “The Young Ireland”. There's no evidence about the foundation of a unique club, but Swinford contested the Mayo final, the first and only one, in 1889, when they lost against Ballina Stephenites GAA.[2]

The club has never won a major football trophy, neither a county title. Unlikely, they have won in 1956 a Mayo hurling trophy.[3]

Swinford has been more successful with minor teams, collecting a Junior Final in 1949 and a Minor Title in 1951.
