History
The club was formed in Mrs Lizzie Farrell's kitchen in Newtown Park on the main road in Tallaght in 1957. The big highlight for the club during this period was winning the Leinster Junior Cup in 1966.

In 2002/03 former St Patrick's Athletic and Hall of Fame player Mark Ennis returned to the club to become first team manager. In 2003/04 this team would go on to win a treble under Ennis' stewardship - the Leinster Senior League Sunday Division 2 title, The Moore Cup and The Gilligan Cup. In 2013, the club opened a 40 x 50 metre flood lit training astro pitch at their home ground in Farrell Park. They field two senior teams in Leinster Senior League Senior 1 Sunday & Major 1 Saturday as of the 2021/22 season. They are managed by former Newtown Rangers AFC schoolboy and Bluebell United captain Glenn Madden, brother of former Irish former professional footballer Simon Madden. In 2017, the club celebrated their 60th anniversary and published a memorial booklet looking back at 60 years of history, photos of teams and players since their formation and interviews with former players and managers.
