Founded: 1984
Nickname: City and Rebel Army
Stadium: Turners Cross
Stadium Address: Curragh Road, Cork
League: FAI League of Ireland Premier Division (SSE Airtricity 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.

Founded: 2007
Stadium: Jackman Park
Stadium Address: Carey's Road, Limerick -
League: FAI League of Ireland Premier Division (SSE Airtricity League Premier Division) 
History:
The name Limerick 37 refers to the year (1937) in which the city of Limerick was first represented at League of Ireland level by a club based within its territory. Legal ambiguities surrounding the use of titles assumed by previous holders of the city's League of Ireland franchise (including Limerick City F.C., Limerick United and Limerick F.C. itself) are believed to have contributed to Soccer Limerick's adoption of a name unencumbered by connotations with the city's often tortuous and divisive footballing history.
The necessity for a new League of Ireland franchisee in Limerick first became apparent in December 2006, when the Football Association of Ireland's Club Licensing Appeal Board rejected Limerick F.C.'s appeal against its prior failure to attain the UEFA license necessary for admission to the League of Ireland's First Division for the forthcoming 2007 season.
The FAI's decision effectively disenfranchised the incumbent Limerick F.C. and its chairman Danny Drew, although the organisation remained receptive to the continued participation of Limerick within senior football.
Limerick 37's first senior game was a 1-0 friendly win over Bray Wanderers at Jackman Park on Friday February 23rd 2007. Their first goal was scored by former Galway United striker Dave Goldbey.

Shamrock Rovers are the most succesful team in Ireland winning far more league titles and cups than any other clubs. They also hold the record for the most victories in European competions, but with the loss of Glenmalure and fiancal problems from the late 80's to this date have failed to win a singnicant trophy since 1994.
