Their most recent major achievement came on 30 October 2022, when having lost the senior hurling final seven days earlier, the club won back-to-back Clare Senior Football Championships, defeating Ennistymon by 0-09 to 0-06 in Cusack Park, Ennis.
Prior to the official club formation in 1952, the Ennis Dalcassians represented the county capital.
Between 1944-1956 and 1994-1995, players from local rivals St. Joseph's, Doora-Barefield joined up with the club to form the Ennis Faughs. Both clubs were competing at lower levels at the time so it was seen as an opportunity to play senior football. The Ennis Faughs competed in thirteen county finals, winning five Senior Football titles in 1947, 1948, 1952, 1954 and 1994. They also won an Intermediate Hurling title in 1945, and an Intermediate Football title in 1946.
When combined with their predecessors, the Ennis Dalcassians, the club are the most successful club in Clare at senior level. A combined total of 35 county senior titles have been won by the capital town - 15 Senior Hurling titles (1990) and 20 Senior Football titles (2022).
In 2018, the club achieved a historic 'Double' when their second teams won both the Clare Junior A Hurling Championship and Clare Junior A Football Championship.
