The Club serves the Rathfarnham, Knocklyon, Ballycullen, Ballyboden, Ballyroan, Firhouse areas. They offer hurling, camogie, Gaelic football, handball, and rounders. They were founded in 1969 after the merger of 2 clubs in the Rathfarnham area – the Ballyboden Wanderers (founded 1910) and Rathfarnham St. Endas (founded 1966).
Their homeground, Páirc Uí Mhurchú is located on the Firhouse Road. It was named Páirc Uí Mhurchú in 1984, in honour of founding member and first chairman of Ballyboden St Enda's, Ned Murphy (Éamonn Ó Murchú) (1908–1981).
According to The Irish Times, Ballyboden is "almost certainly... the biggest sports club in Europe", with 172 teams representing it in 2020.[2]
