Wexford's men's and women's League of Ireland sides will both play under the Wexford FC banner from next season.

Women's soccer in Wexford has thrived under the Wexford Youths brand since it was first granted a licence to compete in the inaugural Women’s National League for the 2011/12 season, winning four League titles and four FAI Cups.
