Like several fellow early League of Ireland clubs, such as St James's Gate, Midland Athletic, Fordsons and Dundalk, Jacobs had their origins as a factory or works team. They were originally the football team of Jacobs Biscuit Factory.[2] They remained active as a football club until at least the late 1960s, playing in the round of sixteen of the 1968–69 FAI Cup.[3]
