Shelbourne Football Club is an Irish football club playing in the FAI National League. Shelbourne are playing in the FAI First Division after having their Premier Division Licence revoked by the FAI's First Instance Committee on 19 February 2007, effectively relegating the club despite winning the league championship just three months earlier. The club was issued a First Division Licence in place of the revoked licence. Founded in Dublin in 1895, the club joined the Irish Football League in 1904, which was then an all Ireland competition, before becoming founder members of the Football League of Ireland in 1921.

The club colours are primarily red and white, with home jerseys being predominantly red. The club currently play their home matches at Tolka Park, in the Dublin suburb of Drumcondra. 'Shels' is the club's most common nickname, an abbreviation of Shelbourne. Shelbourne have recently gained a lot of international exposure due to their performances in European competition and former striker Jason Byrne gaining caps for the Republic of Ireland whilst with the club. Shelbourne are the most successful team in the League of Ireland in recent years, having won five titles in the 2000s. The club is managed by Dermot Keely, who was appointed as Pat Fenlon's successor on 23 February 2007 [1].
