The current club was founded as recently as 1980 and is located in the
parish of
Raheen, County Laois. An older Shanahoe hurling club won the
Laois Intermediate Hurling Championship back in 1951, having won the
Laois Junior Hurling Championship three years previously. In 1999, the current Shanahoe club enjoyed its most memorable day when Declan Cuddy captained them to a 4–7 to 0–6 win over
Ballypickas in the
Laois Junior Hurling Championship final. Football is very much a secondary sport in the club but in 2005 Shanahoe won the
All-County Football League Division 5 title and also reached the
Laois Junior C Football Championship final. The club colours are red and black. ==Achievements==
