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 maintain very strong 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 enjoyed one of their most successful seasons in 1994–95. 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 1997–98, 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. [5][6]

Home grounds

Corinthians initially played their home games at UCC's The Farm. However in 1990 the club set up its home base in Castletreasure, Donnybrook.
