Dublin City Cup
The Dublin City Cup is a defunct Irish football tournament which was played for by all League of Ireland sides. It ran from 1933 and ran uninterrupted until 1973. In the 1975-76 season it was revived and played for by sides who did not reach the League of Ireland Cup quarter-finals. In 1983-84 it was revived again but only eight teams were invited to play, the six Dublin sides along with Drogheda United and Dundalk.
It was played in a variety of formats; from complete round robin series to straight knock out tournaments. From the 1951-52 season it was played as a knockout tournament. It was traditionally seen as the fourth most important competition for League of Ireland sides.
In both 1956-57 and 1959-60 Shamrock Rovers drew with Drumcondra in the final but won the trophy based on the unusual tiebreaker of having been awarded more corner kicks.
