Cork City - Femenino

2011–2015

Cork Women's F.C. was founded after the granting of a license to compete in the inaugural season of the Women's National League by the Football Association of Ireland. The club played its games in the stadium of the Cork Institute of Technology for their debut year. A squad was assembled containing players such as Denise O'Sullivan, Marie Curtin and Clare Shine under the management of Dave Bell. The club had some mixed results on the field in the 2011–12 Women's National League season, and Bell left by mutual agreement in early March 2012. Former Tralee Dynamos player Ronan Collins took the reins of the club until the end of the season (finishing third).^[]

Maurice Farrell was appointed as head coach for the 2012–13 season. There were also changes on the pitch as players like Katie McCarthy, Marie Curtin and Sylvia Gee departed. The club also moved to Turners Cross stadium for the following season. The club finished second-bottom of the league.^[]

For the 2013–14 WNL season, a number of players departed, and a largely new team was signed. Irish International Denise O'Sullivan was the highest profile departure, following a move to Scottish club Glasgow City. The club also began discussions with FORAS Trust which resulted in the club playing home games at Bishopstown Stadium. The team failed to register a point and only scored two goals all season, and Maurice Farrell departed the club at the end of the season.

For the 2014–15 season, the club formally agreed to a merger with Cork City F.C. and FORAS Trust, to become Cork City W.F.C. for the upcoming season. The club continued to play matches at Bishopstown stadium. Former Gaynor Cup-winning manager for Cork, Charlie Lynch, was appointed manager and assembled a squad with additions such as Irish U19 internationals Ciara McNamara and Shannon Carson. Despite an improvement on the field in performances, the club finished another season without a single league win. The club controversially forfeited their final league fixture against Raheny United, which deprived Raheny's Katie McCabe of an opportunity to claim the WNL Golden Boot.

2015–2023

Charlie Lynch was appointed Head of Youth Development and former Bandon AFC manager Niall O'Regan appointed as manager for the 2015–16 season. With some new players, they secured their first win in two years against newly formed Kilkenny United. In February 2016, Frank Kelleher was announced as the new manager, replacing Niall O'Regan.

Cork City WFC came 5th in the 2017 Women's National League season, and won the FAI Women's Cup in November 2017.

Affiliated with FORAS (the supporters' trust behind Cork City FC) from 2014, Cork City WFC was "fully merged" with Cork City FC ahead of the 2018 WNL season. During the 2018 season, the club reached the final of the Women's National League Development Shield competition, losing out to Wexford Youths W.F.C. on penalties. The club finished mid-table in the 2019 Women's National League, with 24 points from 21 games.

Cork City WFC came fourth in the 2020 WNL League competition, and reached the 2020 FAI Women's Cup Final, losing out to Peamount United. The club came 8th in the 2021 league, 9th in the 2022 season, and last (11th) in 2023.
