Ards Football Club, founded in 1900 as a factory team, is a semi-professional club based in Newtownards and playing in the NIFL Championship, with red and blue as its colours. The club entered the Irish League in 1923, played at Castlereagh Park until selling it in 1998, and has since been without a permanent home, sharing grounds including Clandeboye Park in Bangor, which it rents from rivals Bangor.

Its notable honours include the Irish League title in 1957โ€“58, four Irish Cup wins (1926โ€“27, 1951โ€“52, 1968โ€“69 and 1973โ€“74), and league titles in the First Division or Championship in 2000โ€“01, 2012โ€“13 and 2015โ€“16. The club's 1973โ€“74 season brought several trophies, including the Gold Cup, Ulster Cup and Blaxnit Cup, and it reached the Irish League Cup final in 2015โ€“16.
