History

From 1928 until 1982, the parish of Errigal Ciarán was represented by Ballygawley St Ciaran's. The club's re-formation as Errigal Ciarán in 1990 gave rise to a successful era over the next two decades, with the club's most recent success coming in 2022 when they captured their 8th Tyrone Senior Football Championship.{{fact|date=May 2025}} The club has also produced a number of inter-county players, such as Peter Canavan and the former Tyrone manager, Mickey Harte, who started his managerial career guiding Errigal to Ulster Championship success. Errigal Ciarán are the only club team in Tyrone to win the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship, with three championship successes to date, in 1993, 2002 and most recently in 2024.{{fact|date=May 2025}}
