Oldpark Football Club is an Irish former football club from north Belfast.
The club was founded in 1880 by members of the Oldpark Cricket Club.[4] It was subsequently a founding member of the Irish Football Association in 1880 and the Irish Football League in 1890, but retained membership of the latter only for two seasons. The club reached the final of the County Antrim Shield in 1890–91 but lost. The club folded after the 1891–92 season.[5]
The club originally wore maroon, but resolved "unanimously" in September 1884 to change to royal blue and white.[6]
