Trim Celtic is a boys, girls and adult football club in Trim, County Meath. Its home is Tully Park on Summerhill Road, where nursery football and current youth teams share the same club identity as senior sides with county and provincial honours.

The official history records two earlier clubs with the same name before the present Trim Celtic was formed in 1967. Celtic bought its Knightsbrook land in 1976 and renamed the grounds Tully Park in 1992 to remember founding chairman Paddy Tully.

Club story
From local pitches to Leinster success
The first Trim Celtic grew from a meeting of local cricketers before the Second World War and disbanded in 1939. A later side carried the name through the 1950s before closing around 1960. Christy Ginnerty, Paddy Finnegan, Frank Melia, Bernard Barry, Paddy Tully and John McEvoy are named among the people who established the present club in 1967.
Celtic moved between local pitches during its early years. The purchase of land at Knightsbrook in 1976 gave the club a permanent base. Paddy Tully served as chairman from 1967 until June 1980, and the ground took his name during the club’s 25th anniversary year.
The club’s best documented provincial day came in May 2023. Brian Faulkner scored in a 1–0 Leinster Junior Cup final win over Gorey Rangers, goalkeeper Conor Gilsenan saved a late penalty and Trim protected the lead after being reduced to eight men.
The senior side later reached the 2026 FAI Junior Cup semi final, where Coachford advanced on penalties after a 1–1 draw. Youth success has its own place in the record: Trim Celtic reported that the under 13 side secured the 2026 Division 3 title with a 2–0 home win over Trim Town. These are selected milestones rather than a full honours roll.
