The club dates back (in one guise or another) to 1920. Founded in 1920 the club was firstly named the Richmond Asylum Hurling Club. The name was changed in 1923 to St. Dympna‘s. The club became known as St. Brendan’s in 1958 to coincide with the change in name of the hospital with which it is closely associated.

The most famous day in the club's history was probably the 1980 Dublin Senior Hurling Championship final win over Faughs.
