Cork City FC Women is an Irish women's association football team, based in Cork city. Originally playing at Bishopstown Stadium, since the 2021 Women's National League season, the team has played its home games at Turners Cross Stadium.[1] The club kit is the same as that of Cork City FC, as is the emblem, which is itself a variant of the Cork coat of arms.
