In 1943, St Vincent's Hurling and Football Club was founded to promote Gaelic games in the Blarney Street and Sundays Well areas on the North West side of Cork City. Later, as the city grew, their catchment area expanded to encompass Gurranabraher, Churchfield and Knocknaheeny.
By 1946, the club had won the Junior Football County Final and was one of the first clubs in the county to own their own pitch. The grounds were redeveloped on a couple of occasions over the decades culminating in the activities from the early 1990s which saw the building of a modern complex housing several dressing rooms, meeting rooms, a large training hall, 3 adult size pitches and a social club in Blarney Road. An all-weather pitch was also installed.
On the playing side, the club has a number of honours over the years at all levels including the intermediate hurling county title in 1968 and a senior hurling league in 1972. The club won the Minor Premier County in 1998. The club went on to win its first intermediate football title in 2006, and a second one came in 2012. The club celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2018.
