Honours

Derry City celebrate winning the 2006 FAI Cup.

Domestic football

See FAI National League 2007 season for a general overview of Derry City's current season.

Derry compete in a number of major domestic competitions on an annual basis. Those include the League of Ireland, the FAI Cup and the FAI League Cup. They can also take part in the cross-border Setanta Sports Cup, on condition of qualification for the tournament based on performances in the three former competitions. Prior to 1973 the club's main domestic competitions were the Irish League and the IFA Cup.

National League of Ireland

Up until the end of the 2006 season, Derry had played a total of 691 League of Ireland games since joining in 1985. 306 of these games had been won (44.28%), 197 had been drawn (28.51%) and 188 had been lost (27.21%). In the process, 951 goals were scored (an average of 1.38 goals per game) and 651 were conceded (an average of 0.94 goals per game). With 993 points being accumulated over those League of Ireland years, Derry managed an average of 1.44 points per game.
