History
Colmcille GFC is named for Saint Colmcille (or Saint Columba) (AD 521–597) who founded Inchmore monastery on an island nearby on Lough Gowna. The club won the very first Longford Senior Football Championship in 1890 as Columbkille St. Columbkilles. They have won six more county senior titles since then, the latest in 2022.
Colmcille was one of Longford's first five Ladies Gaelic football teams, first playing in 1980.
They play home matches at Fr. McGee Park in Aghacordrinan, south of Aughnacliffe.
