## History

Located in the village of Stabannon, County Louth, Stabannon Parnells GFC was founded in 1933, however, the existence of Gaelic football teams in the parish predates the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1884. The club first fielded a team in 1934 when Stabannon Parnells entered the Louth second division championship.

Between 1949 and 1956 the club contested four Louth SFC finals and won two, including being the first ever recipients of the Joe Ward Cup. After winning the Louth IFC title in 1989, the 1990s proved to be a successful decade, with four Louth SFC titles secured from six final appearances in ten years. A period of decline followed, with Stabannon Parnells being relegated from senior to intermediate and eventually junior, before winning the Louth JFC title in 2022.
