Belfast Deaf United is the only deaf football club in Northern Ireland playing in the Premier Division of the Belfast District Football League. The club play their home matches at the City of Belfast playing fields at Mallusk, Belfast. The club was formerly known as the Belfast Deaf Mute Football Club, founded in 1900 at an Annual General Meeting. The first Chairperson was Francis Maginn, a Deaf activist in the early 20th Century. The football club played throughout the early 1900s until World War II. After the war, three local Deaf football clubs were formed; Ulster Institute for the Deaf (FP), Kinghan Church (KC) and St Joseph's however in the late 1960s the clubs folded. The management from the three local clubs got together and made an executive decision to bring back Belfast Deaf United in 1967, which would enable deaf football players from all walks of life, living in Greater Belfast to play weekly football.
The club has played in various football leagues across Belfast in the past fifty years including the Belfast Church League, the Down Area League and the Belfast District Football League. Since 2003/4. the club has participated in the annual British Deaf Cup tournament. This is a tournament, playing against the top deaf football clubs across the United Kingdom. Belfast Deaf United have won the British Deaf Cup three times; 2011, 2013 and 2014.
