Waterford Football Club, widely known as Waterford FC and nicknamed The Blues, is a professional football club based in Waterford City, County Waterford, Ireland. Founded in 1930, the club has a long history in Irish football and is closely associated with the sporting identity of the city and its surrounding community. Its traditional colours are blue and white, and its home matches are played at the Regional Sports Centre, commonly known as the RSC, in Waterford. The club's identity is strongly connected to the city's maritime heritage. In November 2025, Waterford FC introduced a new club crest featuring three ships inspired by the three ships represented on Waterford's county coat of arms. The design also incorporates the club's founding year and references the River Suir, which runs through the city. Waterford has enjoyed significant success in domestic football, particularly during the 1960s and 1970s, when the club established itself as one of Ireland's prominent teams. Following changes in its history and periods outside the top level, the club returned to the League of Ireland in 2017 under the ownership and operation of Power Grade Limited. Its men's first team has competed in the League of Ireland, while the organisation has continued developing its wider football structure. Waterford FC also operates women's football and an academy programme, providing opportunities for players across different age groups. The academy includes several boys' and girls' development teams, supported by coaching, goalkeeping, medical and performance staff. Alongside competitive football, the club has developed community activities intended to strengthen its relationship with local residents and supporters. Its community work includes football participation, social inclusion and engagement initiatives. The club also maintains commercial partnerships, supporter communications and matchday activities through its official channels. Waterford FC is therefore both a professional football organisation and an established sporting institution in Waterford, combining its historic identity with senior men's and women's football, youth development and community involvement.
