Why Waterford

Adopting Waterford means Republic of Ireland Premier Division results start mattering to you, a club going since 1930. Not a novelty, a habit.

  • You get a nickname

    Known as The Blues. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

  • Worth the journey

    Nearest airport is Cork International Airport (ORK), roughly 79km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.

  • The calendar you inherit

    Republic of Ireland Premier Division is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. Republic of Ireland does not do easy neutrals.

  • Old enough to matter

    1930 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
