St. Mochta's Football Club was established in September 1949, after founder Barth O'Brien suggested the formation of a club to the St. Mochta's branch of the Catholic Young Men's Society (CYMS) during their annual general meeting. O'Brien was asked to form a football section and he sought out young people to determine interest as well as the type of football the club would play, considering that it could mean association football, rugby football, or gaelic football. After a vote from aspiring members, association football, also known as soccer, was chosen.
