During some years of high emigration when the club was unable to field a team due to a lack of available players, many of the players played with North Meath Gaels. In 1972 a pitch was developed beside Ballyhoe Lake. The club moved to its current home in 1992. Meath Hill won a first Meath IFC in 2024.
