A remarkable 7 in a row which would of lead to 13 in row was stopped by Erins Hope in 1956 and yet another 7 in a row was stopped in 1963 by UCD.
They have also won three Leinster football titles in the 1984-85, 1975-76 and 1972-73 seasons. St Vincents highest accolade to date was their All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship title in 1976.
St Vincents are also the most successful club in the Dublin Minor Football Championship. They have won the competition on twenty three occasions in 1994, 1987, 1986, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1971, 1970, 1959, 1958, 1956, 1955, 1950, 1948, 1947, 1946, 1945, 1943, 1942 and 1936. This is a record that is unlikely to be rivalled for many years despite Vincents not winning a title since 1994 when they defeated a much fancied St.Brigids 2-07 to 1-08, with Colin Doyle, Eamonn Peel and Darren Kehoe starring, as the closest rivals Ballyboden St Endas, Scoil Uí Chonaill and O'Tooles have only won five titles.
St.Vincents also captured a remarkable double double in 1993/94 capturing the U21 Football & Hurling Championships two years in a row.
