Maynooth United FC
A new community club, formed in 2025, with a player-centred approach and football at Maynooth Education Campus.
Club story
A new club with its own beginning
Maynooth United FC was established in 2025 as a community football club in Maynooth. Its early story belongs to the first players, coaches and families who have chosen to build something new together.
The club describes its approach as positive and centred on the player, with football offered at a level suited to each child. That gives the club a clear starting point: welcome players, help them learn and let the next part of the story grow through football.
Club identity
Maynooth United, not Maynooth Town
Maynooth United FC and Maynooth Town FC are separate clubs. They have different names, badges, foundation dates and public locations.
Maynooth United is associated with Maynooth Education Campus on Moyglare Road. Maynooth Town is based at Rathcoffey Road. Use the full club name when checking a fixture, arranging a trial or travelling to a match.
The badge
A Maynooth landmark above the ball
The Maynooth United crest places the club name above a local landmark and a football, with EST. 2025 at the base. Its blue and white design gives a young club a strong visual identity while keeping the foundation year close to the centre of the badge.
That combination of place, football and a new beginning suits a club whose identity is still being made by the people who turn up each week.
KDUL football
Beginning with girls’ competition
Maynooth United’s current competition connection is with the Kildare & District Underage League. The live listings include girls’ football in the KDUL Girls Championship, with Maynooth Education Campus named for home fixtures.
The age group and team route can change as a new club grows. Ask about the player’s year of birth, the next training opportunity and the competition level before arranging a first visit.
For young players
Finding the right level from the start
The club’s player-centred approach gives families a useful way to begin the conversation. Share the player’s year of birth, previous experience, preferred position and what they want from football.
A first session might be about learning the basics, meeting a new group or finding a suitable competitive route. Ask about trial sessions, training days, registration fees, kit and the footwear needed for the campus surface.
Home setting
Maynooth Education Campus
Maynooth United uses Maynooth Education Campus on Moyglare Road, Maynooth, County Kildare. The address used for match entries is W23 P2R0, but the exact entrance and pitch should be confirmed before setting out.
The campus is shared by Maynooth Post Primary School, Maynooth Community College and Gaelscoil Ruairí. It is a working education site as well as a football setting, so visitors should follow the arrival directions supplied for their session.
Facilities
Football beside a busy school campus
The campus has astro pitches, a large sports hall, a fitness suite, outdoor basketball courts and outdoor exercise equipment. The campus facilities information gives families a sense of the wider setting around the football.
Facility access can vary outside school hours. Bring the footwear and clothing requested by the team, and do not assume that every campus area is open for general use on match day.
Match day
Check the details before travelling
Maynooth Education Campus is on Moyglare Road in Maynooth. Give yourself time to locate the entrance, find the named pitch and allow for a different arrangement if a fixture moves.
Rain can change the feel of an outdoor visit, while an astro session may call for different footwear from a grass match. Check the kick-off time, surface, parking guidance and changing arrangements with the organiser before leaving home.
A local start
Building a football community in Maynooth
A new club does not arrive with decades of tradition already written. It grows through ordinary things: a coach preparing a session, a parent helping a child settle in, a player learning a new skill and a group returning the following week.
Maynooth United’s location places that work in a familiar local setting. The club can become a regular meeting point for families who want football close to home without confusing it with the longer story of Maynooth Town.
Contact
Use the club’s public updates
Maynooth United lists a public Facebook presence and the contact number +353 86 792 4642. Use the Maynooth United Facebook page to ask about current places, training times, age groups and the person who should meet a new player.
Keep the message simple: give the player’s age, say whether they are new to football or moving from another club, and ask what to bring to the first session.
Live football
Follow the team connection below
The live team, fixture, result and standings sections below carry changing competition information for Maynooth United. Use the full club name when searching, because Maynooth United and Maynooth Town are not the same team.
For a new club, those listings will develop over time. A missing age group or fixture does not answer the joining question by itself, so contact the club before assuming that no place or session is available.
For visiting families
Arrive ready for a first football experience
Bring water, suitable layers and the footwear requested for the session. A child who is unsure about joining can watch for a few minutes, meet the coach and decide whether the group feels right.
Parents can ask where to wait, who will collect the player after training, how communication works and what happens if a fixture is moved. Clear answers make a new club easier to approach.
Next step
Start with the player, then the place
Maynooth United is at the beginning of its story. If the club sounds right for your child, begin with the player’s age and experience, then confirm the next session at Maynooth Education Campus.
For a visiting team, confirm the pitch and arrival details. For a family, ask one clear question: which session is the right starting point for this player?
