Dublin City Cup


The Dublin City Cup is a defunct Irish football tournament which was played for by all League of Ireland sides. It ran from 1933 and ran uninterrupted until 1973. In season 1975/76 it was revived and played for by sides who did not reach the League of Ireland Cup quarter finals. In 1983/84 it was revived again but only 8 teams were invited to play, the 6 Dublin sides along with Drogheda United and Dundalk.
It was played in a variety of formats; from complete round robin series to straight knock out tournaments. From the 1951/52 season it was played as a knockout tournament. It was traditionally seen as the fourth most important competition for League of Ireland sides.
In 1956/57 and 1959/60 Shamrock Rovers beat Drumcondra in the final on corners after drawing the game itself.
