The club was founded as Westbrook Celtic on 28 October 1970. They originally played in the D&D League, which covered counties Donegal and Derry. They moved to Cockhill and became Cockhill Celtic in 1974, and moved into the Inishowen Football League. They remained there until 2005, when the club transferred to the Ulster Senior League.[2]
In 2017 the club grounds suffered flood damage; they received €101,000 from a UEFA Natural Disaster Grant.[3]
The club grounds are named after longtime chairman Charlie O'Donnell (chair from 1978 until his death in 2007). They seat 1,000 people and are located on Cockhill in Buncrana. The club also has two astroturf pitches.[4]
