It was founded in 1889 by workers in the James Taylor & Co. cotton mill, known as the Barn Mills, in Carrickfergus.[1]:13 The club entered the Irish Junior Cup for the first time in 1890–91 and the County Antrim Shield in 1891–92, in which they reached the semi-final.[1]:14–15 In 1923, Barn was elected to an expanded Irish Football League, but retained membership only for five seasons.
