History

Early years

Rockmount A.F.C. was formed in 1924 in the Commons Road area of Cork city. The club was named after a local big house, Rockmount House, after the owner agreed to purchase some gear for the club. In 1924–25 the club entered a team in Cork City Minor League and in 1926–27 the club won its first trophy – the Munster Youth Cup. The 1926–27 season also saw the club enter a team in the Munster Junior League. Other members of this league included Cork Bohemians, Fordsons, Cobh Ramblers and Mallow United plus two clubs who shared their name with future League of Ireland clubs, Cork Celtic and Cork City. League success initially eluded Rockmount but they did win the Munster Junior Cup in both 1929–30 and 1932–33. In 1935 club activities were suspended. However Rockmount A.F.C. was revived in 1951–52, initially as a schoolboy team. In 1955–56, a junior team was also entered in the Cork Athletic Union League.
