History
Emmet-Park

The first GAA club in the Killoe area was founded in 1889 as Killoe Erin's Hope (soon renamed Killoe Erin's Pride). The earliest published record of a Killoe game was a tournament fixture between Killoe Erins Pride & Dromard O’Briens in Cornadrung in November 1889. The tournament in Colmcille included Drumlish Emmets, Mullinalaghta Leaguers, Arva Davitts, Cornafean Tom Moroneys, Killoe Erin’s Pride, Dromard O’Briens, Mullahoran Milesians, Ballywillan Michael Davitts and Gowna West Breffnies.

By 1905, all other Killoe clubs (Killoe Erin's Pride, Killoe McMahons, Soran O'Connells Sons, Killoe Young Erins Pride and Rhyne Hardy Rovers) had faded away, leaving Killoe Young Emmets (named after the Irish patriot Robert Emmet) as the only active Killoe club from that point. The earliest reference to Killoe Young Emmets is found in 1904. The clubs crest shows 1889 because that is the origin year for GAA in Killoe. The Club is based at Emmet Park with facilities including clubhouse, floodlit pitches, gym & meeting rooms which was officially opened by GAA President Peter Quinn in the company of then Taoiseach Albert Reynolds in June 1993.

Killoe participates across all Gaelic Football competition age groups in Longford and also participates in Scór competition, winning 4 Leinster titles and reaching 5 All Ireland Finals across Scór and Scór na Óg.
