Origin

Cabinteely changed their name several times. In the early 1930s, they were commonly known as "the Blues from Cabinteely". In 1939, they won the Schoolboys League Cup in front of an estimated crowd of 6,000. In the 1930s, Cabinteely's squad included Peter Farrell. The club's name was changed to Cabinteely Boys around 1950, and the current club was formed in 1967, as Auburn F.C., beginning league football with one team. In 1973, Auburn F.C. was changed to Cabinteely Boys F.C., with the name later changed to just Cabinteely F.C. to acknowledge both the female members associated with the club and the ladies teams.^[]

League of Ireland

Cabinteely were granted a licence to join the League of Ireland First Division in 2015. The club finished eighth (on 20 points) in the 2015 League of Ireland First Division; their debut season. In 2016, Cabinteely finished seventh, above Athlone Town. In 2017, Cabinteely achieved the highest number of points ever at 38, more than doubling the previous year's figure. They also progressed further than ever before in the FAI Cup and Leinster Senior Cup. In a first for the club, Kieran Marty Waters was voted PFAI First Division Player of the Year.^[] In 2017, Cabinteely released a 5-year strategic plan where the club planned to provide new facilities in their home of Kilboget Park rather than Stradbrook. The plan proposed a new clubhouse, a second all-weather pitch and a stadium.

Merger with Bray Wanderers

In November 2021, Cabinteely and Bray Wanderers announced a merger, technically a takeover of Wanderers by Cabinteely. The newly created team would be known as Bray Wanderers and continue to play in the Carlisle Grounds, with the intention to apply for a First Division licence. Bray's former manager Pat Devlin and then Director of Football (DoF) at Cabinteely became the DoF for the new Bray Wanderers.
