The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) is the organising body for the sport of association football (soccer) in the Republic of Ireland. ...
The IFA was formed in 1880 by football clubs in the Belfast area as the organising body for the sport across all of Ireland. A meeting was called by Cliftonville FC of other football clubs that followed the rules set out by the Scottish Football Association (SFA). At that meeting, on November 18 of that year, they formed the IFA. It is the fourth oldest national football association in the world (after those of England, Scotland, and Wales). The first decision they took was to form an annual challenge cup competition similar to the FA Cup and Scottish Cup competitions, called the Irish Cup. Two years later, Ireland played its first international against England, losing 13-0 (which remains a record for both teams). Year 1880 (MDCCCLXXX) was a leap year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar). ...

Shortly after the partition of Ireland, in 1921, the FA of Ireland (known from 1923-26 as the FA of the Irish Free State (FAIFS) was set up to regulate the game in what became the Irish Free State (now the Republic of Ireland). Those behind the FAI believed that soccer should be regulated by a federation based in the Free State capital Dublin. The IFA's supporters argued that the federation should be based where the game was mainly played: Ulster and its principal city, Belfast. Both federations claimed to represent the whole of the island and both competed as Ireland and both picked players from the two rival leagues, which also split at this time. The Partition of Ireland took place in May 1921. ...

Interventions by FIFA effectively favoured the FAI by giving them de jure organising rights over the 26 counties of the Republic. From the 1950s onwards the IFA was no longer to claim it was the federation for the whole of Ireland. In 1960 the association moved to its present location on Windsor Avenue in south Belfast, in a building once occupied by Thomas Andrews. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA, French for International Federation of Association Football) is the international governing body of association football (soccer). ...

The IFA regulated the game in Northern Ireland, and all results obtained by the Irish national side and records in the Irish Football League and the cup competition stood as Northern Irish records.
