The club name derives from Cualu or Cuala, an ancient kingdom of Ireland that stretched roughly from the Liffey to Arklow.[1]

History

The club won consecutive All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championships in 2017 and 2018.[2]

The club replaced the Davy Group of stockbrokers as its jersey sponsor with biotech company Amgen in 2019 as part of a deal that attracted notice outside the area.[2] Huawei sponsors the hurlers.[3]
