They won the 2014 Louth Intermediate Football Championship[5] and went on to win that year's Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship.[6]
In 2015 the club reached the final of the Louth Senior Football Championship for the first time[7] and won it in 2016 by defeating St Mary's of Ardee.[8]
O'Mahony's then advanced to the 2016–17 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship, defeating Baltinglass[9] and Newbridge Sarsfields[10] before losing 0–12 to 1–05 in the Leinster semi-final against Rhode at the Gaelic Grounds.[11]
