We partake in the Collingwood Cup (Seniors), Harding Cup (Freshers) and occasionally the Crowley Cup under the IUFU intervarsity competitions. We also play in the Colleges and Universities Football League (CUFL) with games running from October to February.

The club is also a proud member of the local Galway and District League (www.galwayfa.ie) since its formation. We have had a lot of success in the Galway League winning a number of Divisional League and Cup titles.
Most recently we won the Championship Division and now compete in the top tier of the league Premier Division.
