Cork City Women's Football Club (Irish: Cumann Peile Chathair Chorcaí na mBan) is an Irish women's association football team, based in Cork. The club play in a green strip with a red and white diamond on the shirt and white hoops on the socks. The club crest is the same as the Cork City FC emblem, which is itself a variant of the Cork coat of arms. The club was founded in 2011 as Cork Women's F.C., to take its place as one of seven teams in Ireland's inaugural Women's National League. In 2014 they affiliated with FORAS, the supporters' trust who own Cork City FC, and relaunched as Cork City Women's FC. The club play their games at Bishopstown Stadium.
Cork Women’s F.C. was founded after the granting of a license to compete in the inaugural season of the Women’s National League by the Football Association of Ireland. The club played its games in the stadium of the Cork Institute of Technology for their debut year. A squad was assembled containing players such as Denise O'Sullivan, Marie Curtin, Ciara O’Connell and Clare Shine under the management of Dave Bell. The club had some mixed results on the field and Bell left by mutual agreement in early March 2012. Former Tralee Dynamos player Ronan Collins took the reins of the club until the end of the season. After a strong finish, the Leesiders came third behind Dublin duo Raheny United and Peamount United. Peamount won the competition outright and sealed a double that season by also winning the Cup.
