Ballinascreen have been a mainstay of Senior football in Derry, and despite having not won the Senior Championship since 1973, last year was their 20th year in succession in the top division in Derry. Unfortunately in 2007 the club was relegated to Division Two, though they still played in the Senior Championship. The following season, the club gained automation promotion back to Division One having won the Division Two league title. The club have won four Derry Senior Football Championships.
Ballinascreen have claimed the Derry Senior Hurling Championship on three occasions (1887, 1938 and 1939).
The club's home ground is Dean McGlinchey Park. It has also hosted Derry inter-county games since the 1950s. Since the 1990s Celtic Park in Derry City has become officially recognised as Derry's main county ground, but Dean McGlinchey Park has still hosted a number of National League and Dr. McKenna Cup games in recent years. Along with Glen it is regarded as one of two secondary stadia.
