Dalkey United Football Club
Dalkey United is a storied, community-focused club in South County Dublin dedicated to promoting football for all ages, from our structured academy to competitive adult teams. Our mission is to provide a supportive environment for players to develop their skills, foster a love for the game, and build strong community spirit.
Who We Are
Dalkey United was founded in 1953 and quickly established itself as a cornerstone of the community, growing from a local team to a significant name in Irish football. The club achieved notable success in the intermediate ranks, winning the prestigious FAI Intermediate Cup in the 1973–74 season. The club's greatest claim to fame in youth development is nurturing the talent of defensive maestro Paul McGrath, who played for Dalkey United before embarking on a legendary professional career with Manchester United, Aston Villa, and the Republic of Ireland national team.
Today, our club has over 600 members, a strong senior mens team and 35 school boys and girls teams.
