History

1938-39

The current Cork City F.C. is the second club from Cork to use the name. The first Cork United played in the League of Ireland for just one season, 1938-39. They also won the Munster Senior Cup in 1939. This club evolved from the earlier Cork clubs Fordsons F.C. and Cork F.C.. They subsequently became Cork United F.C. and then Cork Athletic F.C..

1980s

Two years after the demise of Cork United, senior football returned to Leeside when Cork City FC was founded and elected to the League of Ireland in 1984. Former Chelsea and Cork Celtic hero Bobby Tambling was the first manager appointed to the club, but he was replaced by Tony 'Tucker' Allen after only 13 games.

In its first and second seasons, the young club barely averted relegation to the new First Division - failing to win a single game at home in Flower Lodge and avoiding relegation only on goal difference. The FAI Cup offered some respite, however Shamrock Rovers knocked City out in the semi-finals - in the last match played at the Lodge.

In 1986 the club moved to a new home at Turners Cross, where new manager Noel O’Mahony brought Cork to a midtable finish.

1990s

The early 1990s was a positive period for the club, with lengthy unbeaten league runs, high league positions, retention of the Munster Senior Cup through 4 years, and good performances in Europe. The most notable European game was a gallant UEFA Cup joust with Bayern Munich, which saw City hold the German giants 1:1 at Musgrave Park before falling 0:2 to late goals in Bavaria. 1993 saw Cork City land the Premier Division title for the first time, after a complicated three team play-off. O'Mahoney resigned and the club moved to a new stadium in Bishopstown at the end of the season.

1994/95 was a tumultuous season for Cork City. After a bright start to the season, financial pressures forced Richardson to resign and with Bishopstown not being developed to plan, games were switched to Cobh, Turners Cross, and even an enforced trip to Tolka Park. O'Mahony was re-appointed as manager but the title challenge collapsed and neither Munster or League Cup successes could ease the sense of foreboding.

Cork City returned to Turner's Cross in 1995

At the start of the 1995/96 season Rob Hindmarch took the reins, but the club was in trouble. With the stadium dragging it under, the receiver was called in and the club left homeless. Efforts to save the situation saw a new Board installed and a move back to Turners Cross. Penniless, Hindmarch had skimmed along but relegation still threatened, and a Cup exit saw Dave Barry appointed. The team scrambled to ninth in the league, and for the first time in five years City lost the Munster Cup - to junior side Waterford Glass.

1996/97 saw City finish forth place. The club narrowly lost out on League Cup glory with an unexpected loss to First Division Galway United. Crowds began to increase, and the Munster Cup was recaptured. The following season Cork performed admirably in the InterToto Cup and the team improved to third in the league. Dave Barry's reign reached its high point in that year, when City won the 1998 FAI Cup, beating Shelbourne 1-0 in a replayed final at Dalymount Park. Cork began the following season with eight straight wins but in the end had to settle for second place, as three defeats to champions St Patrick’s Athletic cost them dearly.

His replacement, Derek Mountfield, lasted less than a season and was sacked after a poor run of results and losing the confidence of the players.

2007 has seen the club involved in battles on and off the field. Several key players were transferred in the off-season and new signings Colin Healy and Gareth Farrelly were deemed intelligible for play by F.I.F.A. in an on going dispute case. This contributed to an inconsistent season start, with elimination from the Setanta Cup by Linfield, a home win against St. Pat's and a record-equaling 4-1 defeat to Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds.

In 2007 Liam Kearney returned to his hometown club, and was joined by Darren Murphy for a fee of €20,000. Sean Kelly also completed his transfer from Arsenal F.C. after a 2006 trial period. Darragh Ryan completed the defensive signings, replacing Motherwell-bound Danny Murphy as a left back. The highest profile signings of the pre-season were Republic of Ireland internationals Colin Healy and Gareth Farrelly. However, due to mistakes made by their previous clubs in registering the transfers, both were denied the right to start immediately because of FIFA regulations. Following several appeals and an investigation by the Court of Arbitration for Sports, the players were not released to play before July 1, 2007. While the CAS were powerless to change FIFA's decision, they backed Cork's position and waived the legal costs for Cork City's challenge as a result. FIFA are reportedly considering adjusting the relevant rule (with consideration to season overlaps accross countries) to avoid similar complications in future.

Kit and Colours

Original kit 1984-1989	Recurring black Away kit
Red Home kit 1997-2002	v. Nijmegen 2004

The club's colours reflect the traditional colours of association football in Cork, green and white featuring heavily. Since the club's inception in 1984, the kits have also featured a red trim, influenced in part by the traditional G.A.A. colours of County Cork, red and white. Over the years, the colours have been worn in many different combinations, originally green and white hoops, changed in 1989 to white shirts with green and red trim with green shorts. Other designs worn have been green, white and red stripes with green shorts, all green with red and white trim, and green shirts with red and white trim, and white shorts, as worn in the 2005 title-winning season.^[3] Image File history File links Kit_left_arm_redlines. ... soccer kit File links The following pages link to this file: Celtic F.C.

In 1997, the club broke with tradition to use a red and white kit reminiscent of the popular Cork County G.A.A. hurling and gaelic football kits. These G.A.A. teams were both popular and successful at this time and some saw this as a marketing move to closer associate soccer with other sports in County Cork. Subsequently, the club reverted to the green and white theme in 2002, initially with white sidings rather than stripes, but eventually returning to green white and red stipes.

Since 1984, the team has only worn a kit with a single solid colour once, and at that not by choice. In 2004, when visiting Intertoto cup opponents NEC Nijmegen, the referee deemed both City's kits to clash with both of NEC's, and the club was forced to hurriedly source a viable alternative while en route to the Netherlands. The team wore all-white with a makeshift crest and sponsorship. The match was also notable for the "second debut" of former City youth player Joe Gamble on his return from the English league, and as one of the League of Ireland's most credible results in European football to date; a hard fought draw away from home allowed City to progress to the third round after the home leg. This was the first time any Irish club had progressed to the third round of a UEFA competition.
