The Limerick Football Club was established in 1937 football club from the southwestern Irish city Limerick . The club replaced in 1983, still under the name Limerick City , a predecessor club called Limerick United . This previous club played under different names (1937-1979 Limerick FC , 1979-1983 Limerick United ) from its formation in 1937 to 1983 without interruption in the League of Ireland . The club had also always remained a member of the League of Ireland since it was founded in 1983, but has only played in the lower of the two league moves, the First Division, since the mid-1990s . Since 1992 the club was called Limerick FC again. At the end of 2006, the Irish association refused the club the license for the following season in 2007. Limerick FC took legal action against it, but a temporary admission to league operations was revoked at the end of January 2007.
Limerick took part in European cup competitions six times, but was eliminated each time in the first round. They lost ten of the twelve European Cup games, and the club only managed to draw two. In 1981 , after losing a UEFA Cup first leg in Limerick, a 1-1 draw was wrested from Southampton FC in the second leg in England, and the following year they drew with the same result against the Dutch club AZ Alkmaar in the Cup Winners' Cup .
