The year 2006 looked hopeful for United but a title-challenging year ended sadly as the team failed on the final hurdle. In December 2006 the FAI announced that Galway United had been invited to participate in the new FAI eircom National League Premier Division following a successful application process. By doing so they controversially beat Dundalk F.C. and Waterford United F.C. to the Premier Division spot.
