Official Website: derrycityfc.net Derry City played in the league of Northern Ireland (the Irish League) from 1928 until they resigned from it in 1972. The story of how they left the Irish League is extremely complex; but in short, Derry City suffered from the wider sectarian tensions that erupted in Northern Ireland in the early 1970s. The club did not play senior football again until 1985, when the league of the Republic of Ireland (the League of Ireland) was reorganized. The new two-tier structure introduced senior football to many towns around the country which had not had it before. Derry City were included in this expansion and have enjoyed success ever since. Their most successful year was in 1989 when they won all three domestic trophies (the League Championship, the FAI Cup, and the League Cup). The nickname ‘The Candystripes’ refers to the red and white stripes of the home shirt. Derry also won 1 title and 2 cups during their years playing in Northern Ireland. Have never been relegated, in Ireland or in their time in Northern Ireland. Trophy Room:
