History

While Gaelic football has been played in the Granemore area since 1884, Granemore GFC was established in 1949. In 1971, the club won its first Armagh Junior Football Championship, and won it again in 1990 and 1998. The Granemore senior team won the Armagh Intermediate Championship in 1991, and won it again in 2005 after defeating Whitecross in the final. In the early 2000s, Granemore's minor team won the mid-Armagh Championship. The club contested its first Armagh Senior Football Championship final in October 2022, losing out to Crossmaglen Rangers.
