History
Aodh Ruadh was founded in 1909 as a football and hurling club. It is named after nobleman Hugh Roe O'Donnell (Irish: Aodh Ruadh Ó Domhnaill).
Fr Tierney Park opened officially in 1954.
Jim "Natch" Gallagher was mentor to Donegal's 1972 and 1974 Ulster Senior Football Championship-winning teams.
With Bundoran, Aodh Ruadh formed one half of the St Joseph's team that won seven Donegal SFC titles and an Ulster Club SFC—the only Donegal team to achieve this feat until Gaoth Dobhair in 2018. Aodh Ruadh also contributed three players to Donegal's 1992 All-Ireland SFC title win: Brian Murray, Gary Walsh and Sylvester Maguire.
In 2011, Aodh Ruadh created history by electing an all-female executive consisting of: Betty McIntyre, Chair, Emma Gaughan, Secretary, and Catherine McKee, Treasurer.
