History
Founded in 1887, the Mallow club enjoyed its first success at adult level when the Cork JHC title was won after a defeat of Rangers in 1914. Further success followed when the Cork IHC was claimed in 1923, giving the club senior status for the first time. Mallow's time in the top flight saw them record one of the biggest shocks in the first 50 years of the championship when they beat 18-time and reigning champions Blackrock in the 1928 second round. They were subsequently beaten by Éire Óg in their only appearance in a senior final. In spite of this, Mallow claimed further Cork IHC titles in 1959 and 1972.

Mallow's second century saw the club enjoy many Gaelic football successes. A Cork IFC title in 1992 was followed by Cork PIFC triumphs in 2007 and 2017. Mallow claimed their first ever senior title when they beat St. Michael's to take the Cork SAFC title in 2021.

In 2022, a Seven-goal blitz saw Mallow win the Minor Hurling Challenge Cup at Páirc uí Rinn beating their opponents Inniscarra on a scoreline of Mallow 7-14 Inniscarra 0-13.
