Malahide United F.C. are a football club from Malahide, Fingal county in Ireland. The club plays at Gannon Park. Malahide compete in the Leinster Senior League.
With over 1,200 registered players as of 2009, the club claims to be one of the largest in Ireland.
Malahide United A.F.C. was established in 1944. The club applied to join the Athletic Union League in Dublin and became a registered participant by the time the league kicked off in September 1944. Malahide's first pitch was based in Ard Na Mara and the official club colours were originally red and white. The team's first competitive match was against Bray Wanderers which ended in a 9–0 defeat. Malahide took their revenge in the reverse fixture, beating Bray 5–3 in the final game of the season and denying the Seagulls the title.
The club disbanded in the early 1960s due to insufficient numbers, although by 1969 discussions were held to resurrect the club. This culminated in an application to the Amateur League and the club reformed in 1970. Following the reformation, the club colours were changed to red and black and a new club crest was designed. This new crest was inspired by the crest of Real Madrid.
