Description

Shamrock Rovers Football Club (Irish: Cumann Peile Ruagairí na Seamróige) are a football club from Dublin, Republic of Ireland. They play in the FAI Premier Division of the FAI League of Ireland and are the most successful club in Irish footballing history. The club have won the league title a record 15 times, including four times a row in the 1980s, along with the FAI Cup a record 24 times, including six times in a row in the 1960s. They are also noted for being the first Irish team to partake in European competition.

Shamrock Rovers were founded in 1901 (1899 according to some sources) in Ringsend, Dublin and currently are tenants of Tolka Park in Drumcondra, Dublin, where they play their home games. The club have been without a permanent home since 1987, when a former director sold their ground, Glenmalure Park in Milltown, Dublin. Their future home ground is planned to be the Tallaght Stadium. However, local Gaelic Athletic Association club Thomas Davis have successfully launched a judicial review of the project.
