CLUB HISTORY

Mullingar Athletic AFC was founded in 1983 with a single Senior Men’s team, competing in the Leinster football league. The club eventually increased its senior men’s teams to three by 1990, and in 1992 it established its first underage schoolboy’s team. The club formed its first senior women’s team in 2004. The club's facilities at Gainstown have been developed extensively, with a total investment exceeding €3.5 Million. The initial purchase of 10 acres in 1992 from Westmeath County Council enabled the club to develop two grass pitches and a clubhouse. In the following years, the club purchased an additional 8 acres, which has been used to develop another grass pitch and a fullsized floodlit 3G All-Weather pitch. Since then, the club has purchased an additional 4 acres, which will be used to create a 4G Floodlit All-Weather Pitch as part of Phase 2 of the Facilities Development Plan. This investment has led to the establishment of one of the finest sports facilities in the Mullingar area, as well as the wider Midlands Region

OUR CLUB TODAY

As we celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2023, our club has become one of the most significant community-based sports clubs in Mullingar and the wider Midlands Region. In addition to our combined club membership of 725, we also provide our top-class football facilities to other users from a variety of community and external stakeholder groups and organisations. These include local and regional schools, regional football leagues for boys and girls, youths and adults. On a national level, our facilities are used by the ‘Football Association of Ireland” (FAI) for player and coaching development, Summer camps, and playing of SFAI National Finals and many other programmes.
