They won the 2009 FAI Cup and the 2010 A Championship Cup. They also qualified for the UEFA Europa League on two occasions. Sporting's demise was triggered by the collapse of the Irish property bubble.

The team won the FAI Futsal Cup in 2010 and represented the Republic of Ireland in the 2010–11 UEFA Futsale Cup.
