Linfield F.C. are a Northern Irish football club playing in the Irish Premier League. Founded in March 1886 in south Belfast, Linfield play at Windsor Park, which is also the 'home' of the Northern Ireland international team.
Linfield Football club was founded in March 1886 as the Linfield Athletic Club by workers of the Linfield Spinning Mill. Initially the club played its home fixtures on ground at the back of the mill known as 'The Meadow.' In 1889 the club's growth resulted in a move to Ulsterville Avenue. During their time there the club played Nottingham Forest in the first round of the English FA Cup (at that time the competition was open to clubs in all 4 parts of the UK) achieving a 2-2 draw in Nottingham, however they withdrew from the replay.
The club,which has the biggest fan base of any Irish League club side, has a playing record unsurpassed in domestic football, winning the Premiership title 47 times (the 47th time on the 23 April 2007), and the Irish F.A. Cup 37 times. They won a domestic double in 2006, their 18th, which broke a tie with Scottish team Rangers for the top spot on the all-time world list. They added a second consecutive 'double' in 2007, the first team to achieve this feat in over seventy years.
In 2005, Linfield won the first ever Setanta Cup, a competition between the top teams of both the Republic of Ireland's and Northern Ireland's premier leagues when they beat strong favourites Shelbourne.
Despite winning the first ever Setanta Cup competition, Linfield Football Club failed to reach the same feat in the tournament the following year, losing to eventual winners, Drogheda United, at the semi-final stage. In 2006-2007 they topped their group for the third successive season, becoming the only side to progress beyond the group stages in every year of the competition, and reached the final where they were again defeated by Drogheda United, in a penalty shoot-out.
Linfield are one of the biggest clubs in Ireland in terms of support and the most successful club in the world in terms of trophy count, having officially passed the 200 mark with their league title win in 2004. Rangers are the only club in the world who have won their League title more times than Linfield.
