Kevin's began promoting
hurling and Gaelic football in Dublin's south inner city in 1902. It evolved from the Craobh Chaoimhín of
Conradh na Gaeilge. The founder members included Joe O'Neill and Jim Maguire. Information on the formative years is sparse, but Harry O'Kelly, a staunch club member, was believed to be of central importance to the club at this time. The club attained senior status in 1910, in the mid-1920s and again in the late 1930s and had sporadic success at senior, intermediate, junior and juvenile levels. In the mid 1940s, Synge Street P.P. G.F.C. was formed and it assumed responsibility for football in the area. Kevin's became solely a hurling club. In 1993, the club formed a
camogie section. The foundation of Kevin's Camogie section was the result of a new policy being pushed by both the younger members and parent, who wanted to create both a family and community atmosphere within the area. As of the 21st century, Kevin's Hurling and Camogie club continues to promote hurling in Dublin's south inner city. The club's home ground is in Dolphin Park on the Crumlin Road. The club runs an All-Ireland Easter Hurling Festival. This event was first run in April 2007 and it is recognised by the Dublin County Board and the GAA. Emeralds of Urlngford won the inaugural Brian Scott Cup (Senior Competition), beating Camross of Laois in the final. The 2010 tournament was won by Meelick Eyrecourt of Galway. ==Notable players==
