Fermanagh & Western FA


The Fermanagh & Western Football Association is one of four regional FAs within Northern Ireland and affiliated to the Irish FA, the others being the County Antrim FA, the Mid-Ulster FA and the North-West FA.

History

The Fermanagh & Western FA was founded in 1907 following the expansion of the Fermangah & South Tyrone FA. Although its responsibilities are now bound by the borders of Northern Ireland, initially the F&W FA ran football as far south as Sligo, Clones and Cavan.

Competitions

The three primary competitions organised by the Fermanagh & Western FA are the Fermanagh & Western Intermediate Cup, the Mercer League and the Mulhern Cup.
