The Achill GAA Club was officially established and affiliated to the Mayo County Board in 1941.  Although the area was not new to Gaelic games, there never existed a club as such to bring together the footballers of the numerous villages to play as one team and represent the parish itself.  

Achill Rovers Football Club ( Football Drama & Athletic Club ) is one of several football clubs in Mayo and a member of the Mayo Association Football League and Mayo Youths Schoolboys & Schoolgirls League.
