During the 1938-39 season they also played as Cork City F.C. before becoming Cork United F.C.. The club enjoyed a golden age in the early 1940s, winning five league titles, before resigning from the league on February 13 1948. They then reformed as Cork Athletic F.C..

The Cork United name was revived in 1979 when the club which previously competed as Albert Rovers F.C. and then as Cork Albert F.C. adopted the name. The club played three seasons in the League of Ireland before being expelled in 1982 because of financial problems.
