History

Our club was founded in 1909, initially playing its games in the Burgage near to the cemetery. The club crest depicts St. Mark's Cross, a high cross was moved to Burgage cemetery when its original home was flooded by the creation of Poulaphouca Reservoir. Blessington GAA won the first of our 3 Wicklow Senior Football Championships in 1915.

Blessington won both junior and intermediate county titles in 1979, following up that success with a second senior title in 1983.

2007 was a pivotal year for our development as we moved to our new grounds purchased from the O'Leary family in 2007. Our third senior title followed in 2021.
