The 2015 season (November 2014 - October 2015) was the 96th season of football for Drogheda United. This was Drogheda United's 14th campaign in the League of Ireland Premier Division since being promoted in the 2001–02 season.
It was the first year that John McDonnell was the team's manager. He took over from Damien Richardson who left the club on 13 November 2014, due to the club not being able to meet his demands for a larger playing budget. Assistant coaches Darius Kearns and Neale Fenn also left the club. McDonnell took over on 29 November 2014, with Mark Kinsella becoming assistant coach.
