History
[edit]In 2019, there was an attempt to amalgamate with their neighbours Ballinagar, when Ballinagar GAA and Raheen held discussions on amalgamation. Both EGMs were held with Ballinagar supporting amalgamation but Raheen fell short of the 75% needed for it to pass.[4]
Juvenile setup
[edit]At underage level, the club amalgamates with Ballinagar and Clodiagh Gaels to form na Fianna. Na Fianna provides underage football and hurling for the clubs in Killeigh parish.
