Hollygrove football with national cup pedigree
North End Utd links Belvedere Road football with Wexford league teams, under 19 success and FAI Junior Cup finals.
North End United identity
North End Utd is the Wexford football club behind the North End United A.F.C. Wexford badge. The badge carries a red swan, black and white football, green holly leaves, orange lettering and the 1970 date.
That identity gives the club a distinctive look and a clear link to Wexford town football.
Hollygrove on Belvedere Road

Hollygrove, Belvedere Road, Townparks, Wexford. Confirm the exact pitch before travelling.
Wexford league setting
North End United sits inside the Wexford Football League scene, with first team, second team and younger team activity appearing across league and cup weekends.
The club regularly meets Wexford rivals such as Gorey Rangers, New Ross Celtic, Tombrack United, Crossabeg, Forth Celtic and local Wexford town opponents.
Under 19 pathway
North End United under 19 football has remained active at Hollygrove. The under 19 South title in 2026 came with a seven to one win over Bree United.
The same age group also played Leinster under 19 cup football, including a three nil home win against Home Farm.
First FAI Junior Cup win
North End United won the FAI Junior Cup in 2018 at the Aviva Stadium after a one all draw with Pike Rovers and a five to four penalty win.
The win gave the Wexford club a national junior title and placed the North End name among the biggest junior football stories in the country.
All Ireland junior stage
The 2018 national cup win also sent North End United into the inaugural Presidents Junior Cup against Enniskillen Rangers.
That match gave the club a further stage beyond the Wexford league and connected the North End name with junior football on both sides of the border.
2025 FAI Junior Cup final route
North End returned to the FAI Junior Cup final in 2025. The route included wins over Lions AFC Durrow, Freebooters AFC, Thomastown United, Stella Maris FC, St Columban’s SYC, Avenue United, St Michaels AFC and Salthill Devon FC.
The run ended with a four to one final defeat to Fairview Rangers at Turners Cross, but it still put the Wexford club back on the national final stage.
Wexford Cup tradition
North End United has a deep Wexford Cup tradition, with fourteen wins attached to the club by the 2026 final build up.
The 2025 final was a dramatic win over Forth Celtic, decided six to five on penalties after a two all draw.
Senior league football
North End United has played Wexford Football League senior football at Hollygrove, including Division 1 fixtures against Tombrack United and New Ross Celtic in 2026.
The club has also carried a first team and a second team in county football, giving players more than one adult route within the same Wexford town club.
Second team and cup depth
North End United B has appeared in Wexford county cup activity and league fixtures, including Wexford Cup and Wexford FC Cup ties.
A second team matters because it broadens selection, keeps more local players involved and gives the club extra weekend football beyond the first team.
Fifty year landmark
The club marked its fiftieth year around 2020, matching the 1970 date shown on the badge. That season included senior, youth and second team league success across a short span.
The anniversary gives the current North End identity a longer Wexford story than the recent national cup finals alone.
What families and players should check
New players should ask whether the correct route is under 19, youth, first team, second team or adult football. The best first enquiry includes player age, recent playing level, position, training availability and contact details.
Families should confirm whether a match is a Wexford league fixture, county cup tie, Leinster cup game or national cup tie before travelling.
Visiting North End Utd
Visiting teams should confirm Hollygrove arrangements, parking, arrival time, kit colours and pitch allocation with the home contact before match day.
For neutral readers, North End Utd is best understood as a Wexford town football club with a 1970 identity, a busy Hollygrove base, under 19 activity and major junior cup pedigree.
