Ballymun Kickhams is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in Ballymun, Dublin, Republic of Ireland. The club has a clubhouse and its home pitch, "Arás Proinsias Mác Gafraidh", just off the Ballymun(junction 4) exit of the M50. Ballymun also has a full size astroturf pitch. The club derives its name from Charles Joseph Kickham (1828 -1882).

History

The club was set-up in 1969 following the merging of two clubs, Ballymun Gaels and C.J. Kickhams. Senior status was first achieved in 1978 when Ballymun Kickhams beat Fingal Ravens in the Intermediate league final. In 1981 Ballymun made it to their first Dublin Senior Football Championship Final.

Ballymun Kickhams won their first Dublin Football Championship in 1982 and won their second in 1985. Ballymun claimed the Division 1 league title in 1983, 1984, 1987 and 1988.
