Cup played in England In 2003, Irish domestic football moved from the traditional European August-May season to a summer set-up, as favoured in Scandinavia. As an "interim" season was played in the second half of 2002, amd two FAI Cup Finals took place that year - Dundalk winning April's Cup, Derry City lifting the trophy in November. Shelbourne FC, Bohemian FC and Derry City FC are the only clubs to win both the Northern Irish Cup and the FAI Cup, Shelbourne and Bohemians won it before the partition, while Derry City remained in the Northern Irish league system until 1973, entering the League of Ireland in 1985.
