About Moyola Park FC

Moyola Park Football Club is an intermediate football club based in Castledawson, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It was founded in 1880 and is one of the oldest football clubs in the country. The team plays its home matches at Mill Meadow and is known for its traditional blue and yellow colours. The club is nicknamed “The Park” and has a long-standing presence in local and regional football.

One of the most important achievements in the club’s history came in 1881, when Moyola Park won the inaugural Irish Cup, making it one of the earliest major trophy winners in Irish football. After this early success, the club gradually moved away from top senior competition and spent much of its history playing at junior and intermediate levels. Despite this, it remained active and competitive in various regional leagues throughout the 20th century.

In modern times, Moyola Park has continued to develop within the Northern Irish football pyramid, competing in intermediate leagues and focusing on stability and local talent development. The club has experienced promotions and strong league performances in recent years, helping it maintain a solid position in the national structure. Today, it is respected for its long history and its role in the early development of football in Ireland.
