History
College Corinthians was founded in 1971 by five former University College Cork A.F.C. players who were no longer eligible to play for the club after graduating from the university. Corinthians still maintains links with UCC. It is not uncommon for players to play schoolboy football with Corinthians, then play youth football with UCC before returning to Corinthians to play senior football.[] Shortly after their founding, the club joined the Munster Senior League. In 1994, the club started its schoolboy section. Corinthians had one of their most successful seasons in 1994–1995 when the senior men's team won their first Munster Senior League Senior Premier Division title and also reached the FAI Intermediate Cup final. In addition, their senior women's team reached the FAI Women's Cup final for the second time. In 1997–1998, the senior men's team repeated the feat, winning their third Munster league title and reaching the FAI Intermediate Cup final for a second time.
