Founded in 1889, Gleanvon FC is from Lurgan, Co.Armagh, Northern Ireland. They play at Mourneview Park.  Glenavon was the first provincial club to win the Irish League title (1951–52) and also the first provincial club to do the league and cup double (1956–57). The latter triumph also made them the first Northern Irish team to enter the European Cup. Glenavon has had a number of talented and famous players, none more so than Wilbur Cush and Jimmy Jones, who were to the fore in "the glory years" of the Fifties. The success of the 1950s is still the benchmark at the club – the closest the club have come to achieving a league success since came in the 1993–94 season, when but for two late goals in the final match against bitter rivals Portadown, Glenavon would have been crowned champions. Glenavon enjoyed a good run throughout the 1990s, consistently achieving good placings in the league and winning several cup competitions, including Irish Cup wins in 1991–92 and 1996–97. The club then suffered a relatively poor spell during the early 2000s, which culminated in relegation to the second tier in the 2003–04 Irish League season. Although they were promoted the following season, Glenavon continued to struggle towards the bottom of the league.  The arrival of Gary Hamilton as player-manager in December 2011 saved the club from relegation and as they became one of the leagues strongest teams Glenavon winning the Irish Cup in 2014 and 2016.
