The club colours are green and white. The club formerly amalgamated with the Clonaslee–St Manman's club to play senior hurling under the name Tinnahinch.
Seamus Dooley, Declan Conroy and John Lennon are three of the club's most famous players, representing Laois at senior hurling level.
Rosenallis has won the Laois Intermediate Hurling Championship three times (in 1989, 1999 and 2016).
In 2012, Rosenallis GAA had a huge representation at county level. Patrick Keating played for Laois U21 hurling while at minor level, Ruaidhri C-Fennell and Dean Mahon played with the county footballers and Ronan Murray, John Lennon and Eoin Carroll played for the county hurlers.
In 1999, Rosenallis joined with Clonaslee to form a joint senior hurling, minor and underage hurling and football teams. This club was called Tinnahinch after the old barony name Tinnahinch which included the parishes of Kilmanman, Reary and Rosenallis. Tinnahinch was in 3 Senior Hurling County Hurling finals, 2002, 2003, 2006. In 2009, it won Division 3 Féile na nGael (Under 14 Hurling) national hurling title.
At adult level, this was a Gaels team which meant that both Clonaslee and Rosenallis could have their own separate Junior teams.
