The original Mungret club was one of the first clubs formed in Limerick after the establishment of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1884. The club was very much to the fore in the early days of the GAA but, like many other clubs of the time, the Parnell split took its toll on club membership with the result that the club disbanded. The club was eventually reformed under the Mungret/St. Paul's banner in 1929, by the then headmaster of Mungret national school, Mr. P. J. Larkin, who was instrumental in sparking a Gaelic games revival in the parish.[1][2]
