Founded in 1886, Lucan Sarsfields GAA Club is the largest sporting organisation in West Dublin, and the oldest.The club was also the first in Ireland to be named after the great Irish hero Patrick Sarsfield - who was born in Lucan around 1649 and became Earl of Lucan in 1690 - and began life as most GAA clubs did, with a group of local young men getting together and forming a club.

Gaelic games in the Lucan area actually date back much further than that with records of early football games going back as far as the 14th century when teams from Lucan and Leixlip took on one another on the frozen river liffey.

Lucan Sarsfields were represented at the first Dublin County Board meeting in on 12 December 1886, at the rooms of the Regular Carpenters' Society on Aungier Street, by a Mr N. Hughes and in March 1887  Lucan Sarsfields took part in the first Dublin football championship - losing out to a strong Erin's Hope side in the first round.

By 1904, Lucan Sarsfields were playing in the intermediate ranks, and the club's first silverware soon followed when they secured a famous win when they defeated Benburbs to win the Intermediate Football League.

That same year of 1904, the club's junior hurlers secured an historic double for the club when they won the county junior league. The team brought the Michael Smith Cup home to Lucan for the first time, but, rather amazingly, it would be another seventy years before the trophy would be seen again.
