Virginia · County Cavan
Virginia FC’s home is Kings Park at Pottlereagh. The club’s published youth programme welcomes girls and boys aged five to 18, with red shirts, shorts and socks giving its players a clear identity.
Virginia’s football record
The senior league retains a Virginia Celtic FC profile, while the youth league and club registration pages use Virginia FC. The NEFL honours roll records Virginia Celtic as Division 3 champions in 2016/17.
Virginia also reached the 2017 O’Neill Shield final, losing 2–0 to Park Celtic Summerhill at the MDL ground. A confirmed founding date and full account of the club’s early years have not been established from the sources linked here. The honours above are a selection from the senior league record.
Giving young players time to learn
In an August 2025 interview about football in Cavan, underage chairman Michael Metcalf described Virginia’s approach: giving children a fair chance, helping them improve and letting them enjoy football with friends. He welcomed the FAI’s coaching courses designed around the age and ability of the players.
That report counted seven boys’ teams from under seven to under 18 at the time. The club’s own profile now advertises football for girls as well as boys. The North Eastern Regional League profile provides youth competition records, but team coverage here may not include every squad or academy group.
Club colours
Red from shirt to socks
The league’s home kit photographs show a red shirt with white trim, red shorts and red socks. The circular badge combines a large red V with black FC lettering and a stag’s head, above a ribbon reading Virginia F.C. CLG.
