Coleraine

Coleraine Football Club was founded in 1927 in Coleraine, County Londonderry, from a merger of two local sides, and plays its home matches at The Showgrounds, which has a capacity of 4,843. Nicknamed the Lilywhites and later the Bannsiders, the club is known for its blue and white colours and for the era of Bertie Peacock, under whom it won the Irish League title in 1973–74. The club's history includes two successive Blaxnit Cup wins in 1969 and 1970, and a seventh Irish Cup triumph in 2025–26 under manager Ruaidhrí Higgins. Coleraine also operates a youth academy and a women's football programme.
