Allenwood Football Club was founded in 1956. Prior to that most of the local footballers played with Ballyteague, Robertstown, and the Allen club, which is now defunct. The foundation of the club was the brainchild of Sean Tierney guided by Frank Harte, a former Sligo County Board official who was a camp supervisor at Bord na Mona in Allenwood.
