Cork City Women's Football Club (Irish: Cumann Peile Chorcaí na mBan) is an Irish women's association football team, based in Cork. As of 2014, they are affiliated with Cork City F.C. and will play their games in Bishopstown Stadium.[1] The team also added City to its name.
The club was founded in 2011 as Cork Women'S FC, to take its place as one of seven teams in Ireland's inaugural Women's National League.[2] A strong squad was assembled, including senior Republic of Ireland internationals Marie Curtin, Sylvia Gee and Denise O'Sullivan.[3]
After parting ways with coach Dave Bell, Maurice Farrell was appointed as manager from the 2012-2013 season. The club subsequently parted ways with Maurice at the end of the 2013-2014 season. New manager Charlie Lynch was appointed for the 2014-2015 season.[4]
