Republic of Ireland National Football Team Profile

Profile of the Republic of Ireland national football team history, top score, most caps / appearances, FAI Football Association of Ireland was founded on 1921 and represents governing body for football in Republic of Ireland in a international competition and is controlled by FAI. Became a member of UEFA Affiliation in 1954 and FIFA Affiliation in 1923.

Between 1882 and 1924, Ireland was represented by a single national football team organised by the Belfast-based Irish Football Association (IFA). In 1920, Ireland was partitioned into Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State. Immediately after Partition, the Association in Dublin styled itself the "Football Association of Ireland", but changed to the "Football Association of the Irish Free State" ("FAIFS") following its admission to FIFA in 1924, at which time its representative team called itself the "Irish Free State". However after 1936, they reverted to the designation "Football Association of Ireland".

The Irish Free State made their international debut. On 28 May, at the Stade Olympique, they beat Bulgaria 1–0. On 14 June 1924, the Irish Free State made their home debut against the United States, a 3–1 home win.

Although a team representing the south was entered for the Olympic Games in Paris in 1924, it was not until March 1926 that the new body was involved in its first full international, a 3-0 defeat by Italy in Turin. The team played their first FIFA World Cup qualifying match in February 1934, drawing 4-4 against Belgium at Dublin's Dalymount Park.
