History
College Corinthians was founded in 1971 by five former University College Cork A.F.C. players who were no longer eligible to play for the club after graduating from the university. Corinthians still maintains links with UCC. It is not uncommon for players to play schoolboy football with Corinthians, then play youth football with UCC before returning to Corinthians to play senior football.[] Shortly after their founding, the club joined the Munster Senior League. In 1994, the club started its schoolboy section. Corinthians had one of their most successful seasons in 1994–1995 when the senior men's team won their first Munster Senior League Senior Premier Division title and also reached the FAI Intermediate Cup final. In addition, their senior women's team reached the FAI Women's Cup final for the second time. In 1997–1998, the senior men's team repeated the feat, winning their third Munster league title and reaching the FAI Intermediate Cup final for a second time.
Corinthians ble stiftet av studenter fra University College Cork og har tradisjonelt vært et lag for studenter og tidligere studenter. Laget har oppnådd stor suksess i både nasjonale og provinsielle konkurranser, og har vunnet FAI Cup ved fire anledninger (1924, 1927, 1931 og 1933).
Corinthians spiller sine hjemmekamper på Turner's Cross Stadium i Cork, og har en lojal tilhengerskare som kalles "The Rebel Army". Laget er kjent for sin angrepsvillige spillestil og har produsert mange talentfulle spillere gjennom årene.
Blant de mest kjente tidligere spillerne for Corinthians er Con Martin, Paddy Harrington og Alfie Hale. Martin var en sentral skikkelse på det irske landslaget på 1930- og 1940-tallet, mens Harrington var en del av Corinthians' FAI Cup-triumferende lag på 1920- og 1930-tallet. Hale var en målfarlig spiss som spilte for Corinthians på 1950- og 1960-tallet.
Corinthians er en integrert del av Cork-fotballen og har en rik historie og tradisjon. Laget fortsetter å være en konkurransedyktig kraft i irsk fotball og har et lojal tilhengerskare som støtter dem.
