Current season
Dundalk Football Club (/dʌnˈdɔː(l)k/ dun-DAW(L)K) is a professional football club that competes in the League of Ireland Premier Division, the top tier of football in the Republic of Ireland. It was founded in 1903 as Dundalk G.N.R., the works-team of the Great Northern Railway. It is based in Dundalk, County Louth and its home ground is Oriel Park. The club crest is three martlets on a shield, which was adopted from the town's coat of arms. The team's traditional kit colours are white shirts (which give the team their nickname 'the Lilywhites') with black shorts and white or black socks. They are the most successful club in the Premier Division era in terms of national competitions won and as of the end of the 2025 season, they are the League of Ireland First Division Champions and Leinster Senior Cup holders. The Dundalk women's team competes in the Women's Development League (WDL), the second tier of women's football in Ireland.
