The Drumcondra Football Club ( Irish Cumann Peile Droim Conrach ) was an Irish football club from a suburb of Dublin .

Drumcondra played in the top Irish league from 1928 . The "Drums" were one of the most successful and popular Irish clubs in the 1950s and 1960s. The home games were played at Tolka Park Stadium, now used by Shelbourne FC . The club disbanded in 1972 after the Prole family, as the owners of the club, had transferred its license for the Irish first division to Home Farm FC . Similar to local rivals Shamrock Rovers , whose owners had also sold their shares at the same time, but had not liquidated the club, the reasons for the exit were of a financial nature. After its heyday in the fifties, Irish football fell into a crisis that led to economic problems for most clubs, mainly due to falling audience interest and the associated lack of income.
