History
[edit | edit source]The club was founded on 10 June 1973 at Fr Murphy's Youth Club. A chairman and secretary were elected at the meeting. The club started playing at Rosary Place and initially wore yellow and blue. Midleton F.C. joined the Cork Athletic Union League in September of that year. They finished second in 1978–79.[citation needed]
Midleton were named as FAI/Aviva Club of the Year in 2011–12 and were promoted to the Premier Division of the Munster Senior League and won it the following year.[3] They have qualified for the FAI Cup on several occasions, reaching the Third Round of the 2011 FAI Cup.[4]
In May 2025, Midleton secured the 2024/25 Munster Senior League Premier Division title, and their fifth overall, at home to St. Mary's.[5]
