History

The club was formed in 1982 following an amalgamation of the Muckalee/Ballyfoyle Rangers and Coon clubs. The new club's adopted colours, red with a green sash, were based on a combination of the jerseys of the former clubs.

In 1984, the club won the Kilkenny Senior Hurling Championship and went on to win the Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship in December 1984, and the 1984Ã¢ÂÂ85 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship in March 1985.

Former Laois senior hurling team manager SÃÂ©amus Plunkett took over as manager of St Martin's in November 2022.
