The club plays Gaelic football in the Armagh Senior Championship, and the Senior and Junior All-County Leagues. It also fields ladies' Gaelic football and camogie teams.
Having reached its first Armagh Intermediate Football Championship final in 1971, the club moved for a time into the Senior ranks, reaching the semi-final in 1974. In 1979 St Patrick's won the IFC, defeating Mullaghbawn by 0-7 to 0-5. The same clubs met again in the 1988 IFC final, St Pat's winning by 2-9 to 1-5. Twenty years later St Pat's again won the IFC, defeating Culloville by 13 points to 5.[2] They beat Crossmaglen Rangers on 2 October 2016 to reach the Armagh Senior Championship final for the first time in their history.
The club acquired a 7-acre site on the Tullynavall Road, outside Cullyhanna, for £15,500 in the 1980s. A new pitch opened in 1986.[3] A social club has since been erected on the site, using voluntary labour.
