FAI cup

Does anyone know when the very first FAI cup was?

I think it was 1922.

Yes, just checked. St. James's gate beat Shamrock Rovers 1-0 after a replay.

Now does anyone know who would have played in the most cup finals since then?

As a guess, Shamrock Rovers, they have won it about 20 odd times.

This should help Wikipedia FAI Cup
