History
[edit]Coagh United won the third-tier championship of Northern Irish football, which is now known as the NIFL Premier Intermediate League, in the 2003–04 season.
They were crowned champions of the third-tier for a second time in the 2011–12 season after a title race with Dundela and Knockbreda F.C..
In 2016, the club was relegated from the Northern Ireland Football League.
The club made their return for the 2023/24 season following a play-off win against Mid-Ulster Football League champions Oxford Sunnyside. A last minute goal sparked celebrations amongst players and supporters.[1]
The club was the first club of Leeds United and Northern Ireland player Stuart Dallas. He played for Coagh United between 2007 and 2010, when he left to join Premiership side Crusaders.
In the 2022–23 season, Coagh United were the champions of the Ballymena & Provincial Football League. This entered them into a play-off for promotion to the Premier Intermediate with Oxford Sunnyside and Rathfriland Rangers, who had won the Mid-Ulster League and NAFL Premier Division respectively. In the end, Rathfriland and Coagh earned promotion to the NIFL Premier Intermediate League. Upon their return to the third tier of Northern Irish football, Coagh ended the season in 7th place.[citation needed]
