Dysart F.C was formed in June 1971, at a meeting held in Joe Moore's (now Thomas Street Stores), Dysart. Upon the foundation of the club, a team was formed along with a committee. In 1972 Dysart F.C purchased its present property. The site cost £1400 to buy and the money was borrowed from the people of the parish on an interest-free loan, and all that money has been paid back since. The first match played was a challenge Dysart v Four Roads, 8-a-side, which ended 2 all. A Parish League (7-a-side) was played in 1971 with 3 teams: Dysart (village), Ballintleva and Feevagh.
