At the time of the foundation of the G.A.A. in 1884, Douglas was a vibrant industrial village with the source of employment primarily provided by the Donnybrook and St. Patrick’s Woollen Mills. It was in this environment that Douglas G.A.A. Club was founded in 1887. Following the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the club struggled but re-emerged as Castletreasure G.A.A. Club and later as St. Columba’s G.A.A. Club. The club rebranded as Douglas G.A.A. Club in 1938 and during the intervening years the Douglas G.A.A.

Since the school opened at Foxwood, Rochestown in 2009, the management Principal and staff of Scoil Phádraig Naofa have sought to foster a sporting culture among its students. This was acknowledged by Chairman of Douglas Hurling & Football Club Fearghal Hayes, on a visit to the school on Friday 22nd March. Hayes noted how members of Douglas Hurling & Football Club have always been warmly received when visiting the school and hoped that this relationship would now be cemented, with the launch of a formal coaching structure that will complement the school’s ethos.
