Nickname: City and Rebel Army
Stadium: Turners Cross
Stadium Address: Curragh Road, Cork
League: Football League of Ireland Premier Division (eircom League Premier Division)
History:
Founded in only 1984, the club from Ireland's second city owes its existence to the demise of the six previous clubs from Cork (Cork Celtic, Cork Hibernians, Cork Bohemians, Fordsons, Cork Athletic and Albert Rovers) who had played in the league at different periods and were all either expelled or resigned by 1979. Despite the competion between themselves for fans, the clubs achieved more success than could be expected. Now with only one club based in Cork itself the future looks bright for Ireland's second largest city.
With Cork United (Albert Rovers) expelled in 1982, Cork City was formed two years later and elected to the league. They won their first major trophy in 1987, the League cup and only 11 years after being founded had captured the Championship title.
The club reside at Turner's Cross, which was once home to Cork Celtic.

With dwindelling fans, many to afraid to travel to Unionist areas, Derry appealled to return to Brandywell. They were refused and the following day Derry City resigned from the league and contiued as a junior side, for 13 years this contiued until in 1985, the Candystripes were granted a move to the League of Ireland First Divison, two years later they were premoted to the Premier Divison and in a brilliant achievment lifted the treble in 1989.
