The Republic of Ireland women's national football team selects players from among the 350 Women's Football Association of Ireland (WFAI) teams in 21 affiliate leagues throughout the nation, and the international women's football community. The WFAI was founded in 1973 to provide player and squad development, which in 1990 brought the FAI to finally recognize and support women's football. In 2005 UEFA Women's Championship qualification the squad beat Romania, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Malta to win their second division group, securing promotion to the FIFA first division (teams that compete for direct qualification to the FIFA Women's World Cup). The Women's team has also competed in recent versions of the Algarve Cup. Home internationals are played at Tallaght Stadium in Dublin, home ground of Shamrock Rovers.
