The club first played their matches in Dublin city centre and, like a lot of clubs at the time, they trained in the Phoenix Park.[1]

In all, Commercials won nine titles in the first 30 years of their existence.[2] Successes in the lower grades was also achieved, with Dublin IHC and Dublin JHC titles being secured on a number of occasions.
