In the early days of the GAA, Kerry GAA wore red and green as their colours. In 1903, they travelled east to play a tournament in Dungarvan and inexplicably left the green and red jerseys at home. They borrowed the green and gold kit off local club Kilrossanty and played so well that they decided to adopt the colours.

The club reached its first final in 1886 and reached the finals again the following year, before winning its first title in 1888, without recording a single score against them. Kilrossanty won fifteen Waterford Senior Football Titles.
