Domestic football

See 2009 League of Ireland for a general overview of Derry City's current season.

Derry compete in a number of major domestic competitions on an annual basis. Those include the League of Ireland, the FAI Cup and the League of Ireland Cup. They can also take part in the cross-border Setanta Sports Cup, on condition of qualification for the tournament based on performances in the three former competitions. Prior to 1973 the club's main domestic competitions were the Irish League and the IFA Cup.

League of Ireland

Up until the end of the 2006 season, Derry had played a total of 691 League of Ireland games since joining in 1985. 306 of these games had been won (44.28%), 197 had been drawn (28.51%) and 188 had been lost (27.21%). In the process, 951 goals were scored (an average of 1.38 goals per game) and 651 were conceded (an average of 0.94 goals per game). With 993 points being accumulated over those League of Ireland years, Derry managed an average of 1.44 points per game.

Other records

The club's all-time highest goal-scorer is Jimmy Kelly with 363 goals during a spell of over 20 years at the club between 1930 and the early 1951. Since the entry of the club into League of Ireland football, Liam Coyle is Derry's top scorer with 112 goals to his name after 390 competitive appearances for the club.

Terry Kelly, who captained Derry City in 1985, was the first football player in the world to captain a club he played with in two different national leagues.^[6]

Barry McCreadie was Derry's first goalscorer in the League of Ireland. He scored during a 3–1 home win over Home Farm on 8 September 1985.

Derry City's first hat-trick in the League of Ireland was scored by Kevin Mahon away at Finn Harps on 15 December 1985.

Derry City's record league defeat was to Longford Town FC in January, 1986. The score was 5-1.

Derry City's record league victory was a score of 9-1 against Galway United in October, 1986.

The club's highest scorer in the League of Ireland is Liam Coyle, who played for the club from 1988 until 2003. Coyle scored 112 goals in 390 competitive appearances for the club.

Derry City completed a treble in the League of Ireland 1988–89 season. Shamrock Rovers are the only others to have completed this feat — three times in total.

Derry are one of only three clubs (the others are Shelbourne and Bohemians) who have won both the Irish Cup and the FAI Cup.

Derry are the only team in Ireland to have won both the Irish League and the League of Ireland.

Derry played in the first League of Ireland match ever to be shown live on television when they visited Tolka Park to play Shelbourne FC during the 1996-97 season. The game was broadcast on RTÉ's Network 2 and finished 1-1 with Gary Beckett scoring for Derry.

In 2005, Kevin McHugh became one of just a handful of current players to join the 38-strong group of players who have scored 100 or more League of Ireland goals in the modern era.

Derry's 5-1 away win against Gretna FC at Fir Park, Motherwell in the 2006-07 UEFA Cup's Second Qualifying Round is the largest away winning margin for any League of Ireland team in European competition.

Derry played a record number of 54 games in the whole 2006 season including all competitions. Previously, the record had been the 49 games played in all competitions during the treble-winning 1988-89 season.

Derry's FAI Cup final game against St. Patrick's Athletic on 3 December 2006 was the last soccer game ever to be contested at the old Lansdowne Road stadium before the commencement of planned re-development.^[7] Derry won the wind-swept game 4-3 after extra-time.

The first goal of the 2007 League of Ireland season was scored by Derry's Kevin McHugh.

Derry City is a unique club, due to its troubled and fluctuant history, in that it is one of the few clubs from the United Kingdom (and the only club in Northern Ireland) to play in the league of another country - the league of the Republic of Ireland in the case of Derry City. (See Football clubs playing in the league of another country for further general information.)

Derry have never been relegated from any of the divisions they have played in.
