History
Cabinteely have changed their name over the years. Around 80 years ago, they were commonly known as "the Blues from Cabinteely". In 1939, they won the Schoolboys League Cup in front of an estimated crowd of 6,000. The most famous Cabinteely side included Peter Farrell. The name was changed to Cabinteely Boys around 1950, and the current club was formed in 1967, as Auburn F.C., beginning league football with one team. In 1973, Auburn F.C. was changed to Cabinteely Boys F.C., with the name more recently changed to just Cabinteely F.C. to acknowledge both the female members associated with the club and the ladies teams.
