While Gaelic football has been played in the Granemore area since 1884, Granemore GFC was established in 1949.[3] In 1971, the club won its first Armagh Junior Football Championship, and won it again in 1990 and 1998.[4] The Granemore senior team won the Armagh Intermediate Championship in 1991,[4] and won it again in 2005 after defeating Whitecross in the final.[5] In the early 2000s, Granemore's minor team won the mid-Armagh Championship.[3] The club contested its first Armagh Senior Football Championship final in October 2022,[6] losing out to Crossmaglen Rangers.[7]
