Cork City FC

Founded in 1984, Cork City FC quickly established themselves as one of the League of Ireland's most competitive clubs. They won their first league title in 1993, added a second in 2005, and have been a Premier Division presence for most of their history. The club has also won the FAI Cup four times and has represented Ireland in European competition on multiple occasions.

Their most celebrated modern moment came in 2017 when they won the league title under manager John Caulfield, holding off Dundalk to end the Lilywhites' run of three straight championships and then adding the FAI Cup to complete the double. Relegated in 2025, Cork bounced straight back by winning the 2026 First Division with six games to spare and will return to the Premier Division in 2027. Cork City are known for their passionate, vocal fanbase at Turner's Cross and their strong connection to the rebel county of Cork, where football has always had a special place alongside GAA.

Green and white — the Rebel Army colours worn with Cork pride. Cork City FC's home kit is one of the most distinctive in Irish football, and the green and white combination carries the rebel spirit of Ireland's second city. Bold, proud, and unmistakably Cork.

Their kits carry the identity of a club that represents the entire Munster province and the fierce independent spirit of Cork, and the green and white of the Rebel Army is worn with enormous passion by one of Irish football's most devoted fanbases.
