Basketball first introduced to the boys of St. Vincent’s School C.B.S, Glasnevin in 1958 when Brother O’Farrell erected a set of baskets in the school yard. First coach was Brendan Buckley who after two years returned to his native Tralee.

In September 1961 Bill Casey took over when Brendan finished and with full co-operation from Brother Burke, the school Principle, the first successful St. Vincent’s team was produced in the Under 14 Grade League. On this initial success the present large and expending club was formed. The club first registered with the ABBA in September 1962 and it’s success comes directly as a result to the efforts made by individual players to coach the boys at the school over the following 20 years.

Since September 1990 St. Vincent’s has won:
 * Three Super League titles
 * One Super League Northern Conference 2004 – 2005
 * Two National Cup Titles
 * Eight National Championship titles
 * Two National League Division 1 titles 2004 – 2005
